Bob Marley: Remixed
 |
| This is the example I did in class the other day. Jah. |
1) Split up into groups of 1, 2 or 3 and grab your designer kits.
2) Each group should grab a set of lyrics from the printed sets there:
"No Woman, No Cry"
"Redemption Song"
"Get Up, Stand Up"
"Buffalo Solider"
I grabbed all my Bob Marley lyrics from here because it has a nice print feature available.
Notice, there's a playlist here to help you out.
3) Grab a set of sticky notes
4) Marley chose his words carefully; one could say he practiced very careful DICTION. Read those lyrics, listen to the songs if you like, and circle, mark, identify the words and phrases you think most important to that song.
5) From those that you mark, put each on a sticky note so you can move them around, shuffle around the ideas on a desk or two. Give yourself plenty of room.
6) Create a new "Bob Marley" song that includes at least a chorus and one verse. Each member of the group should post this to his or her blog and include a short paragraph explaining the this new song.
- Why those particular words?
- What words did you add of your own?
- To what extent does this song seem like something Bob Marley himself would have written? How so?
Poetic Devices: Diction
After creating your Bob Marley remixes, you have your first poetic device work to begin. The teacher PACE due date for this first graphic organizer is Wednesday, November 20th. If you want to adjust that date, be sure to visit the PACE Due Dates doc in your Google Drive.
Your three choices of organizers are in the PACE Poetry Is Music Is Poetry Folder in Google Drive.
To begin working toward the standard, you must effectively complete an organizer on a poem or song of your choice. I have provided poems that I think work well at this link.
Diction on the old Flight307.wordpress.com, created by UMF practicum teacher, Ms. Clark.
The example in the flipped lesson.
Hear it read by the poet here. (Sometimes that can tell us something about the poem.)

Blog: 3+ Posts
Req'd Creative Post: Illustrate a powerful line from a poem or song that speaks to you. It may be a poem of your own creation, it may be a favorite song, it may be a poem that you stumble upon at www.poets.org or www.poetryfoundation.org, it may be one of the one's we've worked with in class. Your illustration may be hand drawn, created digitally, or pulled together by finding images from Creative Commons.
Include a brief paragraph of explanation along with your illustration. Post your illustrations by screenshot, laptop cam, phone pics, whatever it takes -- just them out there where other people can see them. Think of this as a chance to explore whether this is one of the projects you'd like to take on for the unit in a greater sense.
