Hello intermediates!

Today’s assignment is to rewrite the words of a famous children’s song to describe your experience at home for the past month.

Some song options could be…

-Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

-Row, Row, Row Your Boat

-Happy Birthday

-or any other simple song that you know!

Once you’ve picked a song, now it’s time to change the original words to your new ones. You can write about anything that you’d like, including how you’ve been feeling, what you’ve been doing with your family, or a video game you’ve been playing. Make sure that the words still line up with the melody of the song, and if possible, try to keep the rhyme pattern the same as the original song.

There is an example on the assignment sheet. Once you’ve written your new song on the assignment sheet, please email it to me at derek.maroney@burnabyschools.ca by Friday May 8th.(Or even better, send a recording of you singing your new song, if you’d like!)

I can’t wait to hear what you create!
