BLOG POST DIRECTIONS: 1-24-14, Figurative Language and Music!!!

As you saw in our last quiz, figurative language is what makes up the lyrics to many songs! This week, your task will require some skill set, creativity and some of your favorite music!

Your blog will be 5 paragraphs:

1. Introduction defining figurative language and why authors like to use it (RESEARCH THIS)
2. Song #1, the artist, and 1 piece of poetic element/figurative language used in the lyrics. Tell how it is that element and how it makes the song better than being "literal."
3. Song #2, the artist, and 1 different piece of poetic element/figurative language used in the lyrics. Tell how it is that element and how it makes the song better than being "literal."
4. Song #3, the artist, and 1 different piece of poetic element/figurative language used in the lyrics. Tell how it is that element and how it makes the song better than being "literal."
5. A conclusion paragraph that overall states WHY music is poetry....just set to song. :)

RULES:
The songs you choose MUST be school appropriate-
1. NO RACIAL words
2. NO PROFANITY
3. NO INFERED PROMISCUOS VERBAGE

Basically, if you have to ask me IF you can use it, it is probably not appropriate. If it is one little "not-so-horrible-but-still-not-good" word, then CHANGE IT!

****WORD COUNT MUST BE AT LEAST 400 words minimum!****
