Make learning yours
Hey, y'all! This week's Research of the Week should be a fun one. We're gonna assess embedding quotations and inferences, so:
1. You're going to choose your favorite song (if you have many, go with one of them) and pull out a line or two that are meaningful to you. 2. You're gonna tell us what that quote means to you (it's no longer what it says [Explicit information], it's you reading between the lines [Inference]. 3. You're gonna place the quotation directly into your answer. Remember: S.E.S.S. I'm leaving an example below but DON'T COPY OFF OF THAT EXAMPLE: "'Weird Al' Yankovic's 'Word Crimes' is a great song because it uses humor to teach grammar. Grammar is something that's normally boring, but because Al is a nerd and he parodies songs he can mix both to make it more memorable. For example, when he says in the song "Just now, you said, you literally couldn't get out of bed / That really makes me wanna smack a crowbar upside your stupid head" (Yankovic, Word Crimes), he exaggerates the actual use of literally as a way to supposedly teach us a lesson. Ultimately, teachers might show us these rules in different lessons, but Weird Al manages to put a bunch of them together, in a funny way that does what a teacher can't. Due FRIDAY 11:59 p.m.
