DAYLIGHT
we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight
slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight
i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today
open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight
and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
We started by watching the video a couple of times and following along with the lyrics.
Then we marked up everything we thought could be symbolic.
 |
| Kindly ignore the WATER bottle ON the LAPTOP . . . for crying out loud people . . . |
And then we created remixes to emphasize the symbolism. We cut and pasted and moved and drew and wrote to create versions of "Daylight" focused exclusively on the symbolic meanings.
It was pretty neat.
Then we moved our thinking over to Double Entry Journals (DEJs) and looking at how we can explain our thinking in writing. This is something you will need to do on Speak this week and next.
- We looked carefully at what makes the difference between a MEETS, DOES NOT MEET, and EXCEEDS the standard response.
- Keys to meeting?
- Identifying the symbol that is being used.
- Explaining what the symbol means to the overall idea the author is trying to get across.
- Identifying the author and the work.
HOMEWORK
Blog: 3+ Posts
Req'd Post: Take pictures of three items that symbolize who you are. They may be things you own, they may be objects you see, they may be in the school, they may be around town. Take three pictures and explain how each represents you.
If you HAVE to find pictures off the web, ok. Try to make that your LAST option.
