Homework:
Collage and short essay about yourself due Friday
Bring Vocab money if you have not done so already

Today:
We began the next writing piece by studying Sharpay's song "Fabulous" in High School Musical 2. Since Sharpay is central to the whole movie, this song establishes her character. Through the lyrics, the singing and dancing, and the colors used throughout the scene, we get a good picture of what she thinks of herself and what she values. I wanted the students to think about how they would present themselves. Would you show who you are, or would you present yourself as how you want to be seen? Is Sharpay what she sings about, or is she showing us how she wants us to think about her?

The next writing topic is up on MrBoZ.com. I will discuss the requirements with the students tomorrow.
