Novel Theme Song

•Think about the mood and purpose of the theme songs of your favorite movie or TV show
•Your job is to create a theme song for the novel you are reading or have just read
•You may want to think of a familiar melody write your own words or create your own sounds too
•After you have composed your Novel Theme Song, you will need to write a paragraph explaining the relationship between the song and the novel
•When this project is due, you will perform your song for the group and we will record it!
*If you would like, you may also create an interpretive dance to go along with the theme song you created

When we had to write a song I thought that it would take forever because I don't really know how to
write a song but it worked out.

Lauren,
You and Lydia did a great job with your song and movements. I am sad to say that my camera did not work well today, so I don't have them taped! But I know that you worked hard and did a very goood job, which deserves an A!!

LaSonya,
Isn't neat when you think you will have trouble doing something and then it turns out being really good! Your song(s) was great! Thanks for working so hard.

Beonca,
I was quite impressed by your book review that you did instead of a song (perhaps we could put it to a tune and make it fit the project assignment). The vocabulary you used and the full coverage of the story was remarkable!
