(Home on the Range was about all that I could handle...) However, I thought that it was a great way to learn the words, and it involved dredging up every amount of creativity that we could muster.

It's good too step outsied your comfort zone every once in a while. An idea i've had for future songs is that the teacher, Mrs Smith, could pick the song and everyone does the same song so we can see how differently everyone thinks when it comes to songs and music.Brian chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493431347315299881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053873056775658406.post-64378410762868767042007-10-15T21:49:00.000-06:002007-10-15T21:49:00.000-06:00This activity for learning the SAT words was defin...This activity for learning the SAT words was definitely different. I thought is was hard to find words to match up with a country song about wonder woman. However, the songs turned out very well, they even surprised me at how good they were.

I thought it was really helpful for learning the SAT words so that whenever we were stuck on the test we could just start singing our songs and then I could remember what it meant. It was also a great way for us to step out of our comfort zones and have some fun with each other. I have to agree, this has been one of my favorite activities we've done so far this year.nicolekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905808736895417684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053873056775658406.post-50064048204121701112007-10-15T21:33:00.000-06:002007-10-15T21:33:00.000-06:00I was pretty nervous about getting up to sing infr...I was pretty nervous about getting up to sing infront of everyone in class, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

I mean, honestly, how does Wonder Woman fit in with anything country? Well, I found out shortly after attempting to write song lyrics - not well. She's just really not a country girl at heart. It's not her thing. <BR/><BR/>Doing these vocab activities has helped tremendously with learning the vocab terms, even though it can be slightly embarassing at times :) Still, I thought this was fun and challenging.morganwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430313351151318139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053873056775658406.post-13721496455775255682007-10-15T20:09:00.000-06:002007-10-15T20:09:00.000-06:00I agree pretty much with what everyone said.

I thought that they really helped us learn the words. This was a great way for us to use our imaginations. As you can tell, all of our songs were completely different. This was a unique way to study for an SAT test. I had never studied this way before. What can I say though, this is not education as usual. I agree with everyone else that the hardest part was having the words fit the lyrics and the tune of a country western song.
