The recording of our blues songs is under way! I think I will go crazy by the end because most of the students have chosen the same song: John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom Boom." We are making recordings using Garage Band which I will save as MP3's. I will also be adding their pictures to the song so that when you listen to the songs on iTunes, their pictures will appear on the player. That includes iPods as well.

Homework is to finish unit 13 in the vocab. This week we will have a quiz on Wednesday. We will also be recording the songs for as long as it takes. After that, we will begin a study of Harlem Renaissance poetry. They will be responsible for finding a poem and performing it for the class. Again, I will record them.
