We met last Wednesday at 6:30 on the 8th of November for the first time this year. And we introduced ourselves and we talked about songs and narration! As promised, here are the links to the songs we talked about:
"Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin
"A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash
"Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen
"The Last Time I saw Richard" by Joni Mitchell
"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon
"We are Young" by FUN.
And NEXT TIME, we will be meeting December 5th, at 6:15. And we will be talking about POETRY. Your HOMEWORK is to research 2-3 poems (or 1 really long poem) to share with the group. You should have at least some of the following information:
- A printed copy of the poem
- Author (and a short Biography)
- Title of Poem
- Genre of Poem
- Type of Poem (haiku etc.)
- Plot of Poem (if there is one)
- Description of Characters
- Explanation of important themes/ideas
- Explanation of important vocabulary
- And why you chose the poem!
(For inspiration, you can look at the previous post, and I will post more links in the coming days to more poems and poets as well.)
See you in December!
