October 4 2018 - Tuesday / now Thursday

Hopefully, you received the notice from EMCC that the campus closed at noon on Tuesday due to the flooding and rain. This is now Thursday's blog! Enjoy your extra time. 

Class Work

1. We will continue with the "wall" presentations. If you were not here on Thursday, please see me for a rubric and for a note sheet. All others, please continue with the notes on Thursday's sheet.

2. Return to your "war songs" group. Your group has time today to coordinate efforts.

Here are the instructions:

List all names on the first slide. 

One person will post. The rest will simply list the name of the person who posted in the Canvas space. 

Assignments; 

As a group, study the lyrics. Pick one to study and share.

• Select one song to share. Post the lyrics. (10 points) For example, in the Revolutionary War, "Yankee Doodle" was a very popular song. During the Civil War, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was a favorite. During the Viet Nam war, many popular songs on the radio became the anthems of the war. 
• Be ready to play or share the song.
• Identify the war/time period/location of when the song was popular. (Post) 30 points) Feel free to create a brief PowerPoint or Prezi show of 3-5 slides. (Not all battles are fought with guns, airplanes, arrows, or tanks.) 
• Share the message. (Post and be prepared to share in class on Tuesday.) (10 points) Everybody must say something!

What is the message about war or battles? What is the tone of the message? 

Homework:

You have one to two pages to write about a hero. In addition,locate a quotation that best fits your hero. Use that quotation as the title of your "hero" page. Please introduce your hero to the reader. Explain what the hero has done. That will help to tell why that person has the title of hero in your mind.

This may be about someone you personally know or about someone you admire but have never met. 

Use regular 11 or 12 size font. Use regular margins - default is fine.
