Thursday, April 5th



Make a sound track for your life.  You will make a list of at least ten songs that represent you and different stages and events in your life. Next to each title, explain why you chose it. You may wish to post a link to the youtube verson of the song or the lyrics.  NO bad words, please.  Clean versions ONLY.  Post to Kidblog.

You may work on your own writing.  Remember, you will be sharing something in your writing group the Thursday we return from break. :)
