Below are the song choices that were proposed and fit the criteria. Remember, you had to select a song by a Canadian artist. We didn't talk about whether the song had to be written by a Canadian, so some of you chose versions of songs sung by Canadians. We can decide together whether that fits the criteria.
The songs are an eclectic collection of genres and styles. I am excited to share them with you!
Take some time to watch, listen and reflect. Think about the following big ideas:
-the song we share has to have a message that we can explain to the other classes and back up with evidence from the lyrics
-the artist has to be Canadian
-it has to be a song that can be enjoyed and sung by more than 100 kids
-it will be performed for a wide range of ages and preferences
-some students may want to contribute by playing instruments (like ukuleles)
Sk8r Boi - Avril Lavigne
Little Boxes - Walk Off the Earth
Stutter - Marianas Trench
Wake Up - Arcade Fire
Hasn't Hit Me Yet - Blue Rodeo
I Knew You Were Trouble - Walk Off the Earth
Take a Minute - K'Naan
You Can't - Jason and the Diatonics
Heart of Gold - Neil Young
Like a Hurricane - Neil Young
Believe - Justin Bieber
Thank you to all of the Digital Degus who made thoughtful suggestions. Your job now is to enjoy the videos and think about which one you'll vote for next week. You may leave a comment if you wish and/or make a post on your own blog.
The following students still need to do a job: Cohen, Daniel, Ethan, Vickie, Jackson, Erika, Laryssa, Lauren, Liam and Miguel.
The songs are now proposed, so you won't be able to do the last task.
Your job now will be to comment on your top two songs here. You must write a comment below listing three juicy reasons you like for EACH of those two songs (total of six reasons). Use your best academic writing and double check before hitting publish. Please do this as homework by Monday.
These are really cool songs and I hope we do either Stutter or I Knew You Were Trouble. They are best out of all of them, I like them better than my choice!

Hi Shauna,
ReplyDeletehere are my really juicy comments
I know you were trouble:
I think the girl is really mad at someone who got
her in trouble ,and what was extremely cool about
the song is that it sounded like they were using
istruments but they were doing the instrument sounds
with their mouth!and it sounds like a band but they
are just making the sounds with their mouth!
and all though it was a really in expensive video
it was a really cool song!
avril lavigne sk8r boi
the girl and the boy broke up because they felt that
they had nothing in common because her boyfriend was
a skater boy and she did balet classes so they
thought that they had nothing in common
but then her x boyfriend became a superstar and
became famous!and the video costed a lot of money
because there is a guitar,a house,a car, and a whole
bunch of things!plus a huge helicopter at the end of
the video!
