JOURNAL TOPIC: (today's tunes: "Graceland" by Paul Simon; "Boy in the Bubble" by Paul Simon; "Homeless" by Paul Simon)
(These questions will also form the basis for our Socratic Seminar.)
1. Based on what you learned yesterday & last night, is it fair to say these songs were "by" Paul Simon? Why/why not?
2. Explain how Simon created something new by going back to the roots of a musical genre.
3. Can we describe music as literature? Why/not?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Big Questions & Masterpiece Academy
3. Socratic Seminar
HW:
1. Create a post for your blog entitled, "MUSIC AS LITERATURE"
2. In that post, publish your notes from today's Socratic Seminar and use what you learned from your colleagues to answer these questions: Can we consider music to be
literature? What is the difference
between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?
