While my last few posts initiated some incredibly interesting discussions, I wanted to shift the focus of this week's blog to center more on our students. Since I am an English teacher and this is a blog, I thought the best way to accomplish that would be to identify a writing prompt that would allow students from many areas and incredibly diverse backgrounds to participate. In the process of searching for just the right prompt, I came across the picture posted above. I was immediately intrigued. I thought, "Wow. I have no idea how I would answer that question." And, thus, the blog for this week was born.
While it may initially seem simple enough, I think a majority of you will find it rather challenging to identify a song that can encompass the whole of your life experience thus far. Don't get me wrong; I have every confidence that it can be done... but it will certainly take some thought and, for many of us, quite a bit of searching. Once you do find your perfect tune, please use the comment section below to list the song... and - in a nutshell - why you feel it is a good fit for you. I can't wait to see (and hear) your choices!
Please note: Your choice doesn't have to already BE a theme song. You can choose any song... from anywhere!
