For Coyote, she was to write a song that included all of these parameters:
Write out a NEW 8 note melody.
The melody must show examples of the 4 principles of art that we have discussed:
1. Contrast – it must have a combination of consonant (1,3,5,6,8) and dissonant (2,4,7) notes.
2. Balance – there must be a mix of leaps and small steps in the melody.
3. Emphasis – Only one note should be the highest note in the melody.
4. Pattern – try using some repetition of notes and steps.
After you have written out the 8 note melody – add a second line above using only consonant notes.
She got to show off at class today, and Sean loved her melody!
They all played it!
She also had to come up with an INVERSION sentence which was created by Shakespeare.
It’s so fun learning!
Then she DREW the MONA LISA for History.
WOW!
She also just wrote a story for Creative Writing. She had to remake a fairy tale. Isn’t this the BEST!?
The Three Billy Boys Rough?? (a modern version of the Three Billy Goats’ Gruff)
By Tatum Hay
On a clear sunny day in Philadelphia, Billy Mo a clever brown haired blue eyed five-year-old boy who likes to wear cartoon clothing and is a rebel, Billy Jo a blonde haired brown eyed nine-year-old boy who is starting to love wearing baggy clothes and is a dads boy, and Billy Bo a brown haired greyish eyed 15 year old boy who is a mamas boy, are three brothers fighting for the jungle gym at the park. Life was good till a new family moved in across the street. Grunwald, a tall teenage, boy threatens to pound Billy Mo after he starts to walk to the park. Now Billy Mo had two options either get pounded or throw Billy Jo under the bus. Billy Mo was very clever and he sayed, “don’t pound me! My big brother Billy Jo will be here in a sec pound him instead. He has more flesh and will be a lot more fun to pound.” Soon Billy Jo came along and said, “no, no, no, my big brother Billy Bo will be here very soon pound him instead.” Soon Billy Bo comes along and threatens, “if you don’t hurt me or my brothers then I won’t tell your mom about this whole incident.” Thinking hard Grunwald agrees. And the three brothers and Grunwald played happily ever after.
My little BOO! Her boo buns make her so ghouly! (girly!!…heehee)
LOVE THE LEARNING!
