Transitions--what are their purpose?

Power of repetition

Chorus/refrain

You are writing a musical, this requires there to be a connection between each of
your songs. This connection has to be communicated to your audience. We are
going to ask you to do this in 2 ways. As a group you will need to settle on what
we will call a bridge and the other is a transitional narration. Let’s talk about the
bridge first.

examples

BRIDGE: This is 2-3 lines that capture the fabric of your city and your slogan.
This will be played directly after every song and should, therefore, somehow pull
in ideas that illustrate your city--consider images and for sure your slogan has to
be in this.

TRANSITIONAL NARRATION: These are lines that are crafted specifically for the
purpose of moving your song along. They will include a line that recaps the info
from the song before and one that is a preview of the song to come.

Survey for Bridge submission

THEME → The Great Plains late 1800’s

Topic 1 → Custer’s Last Stand

Topic 2 → Carlisle Indian School

Topic 3 → Hunting the Buffalo

Topic 4 → Massacre at Wounded Knee

your songs. Record this on your team share document.

Day # 7 Tuesday 12/4

Flipgrid Grades are in and will be a separate grade in Social Studies because it is
SS content.  If you are unhappy with your grade you may redo the flipgrid by the
end of this week. It must be done at school, with the knowledge of a teacher.

Wondering where you are headed? Here is a sampling of past pieces.

1 Thatcher, 2 James and Eliza, 3-Zach Richards

Your job now is to start creating your own song by writing the first stanza. The
focus is JUST on STANZA ONE.

Before you start writing you must Identify the following at the top of your paper:

NARRATOR

LOCATION

TIME

(Ex. Song about Carlisle Indian School)

Narrator - Young Cheyenne boy

Location - Cheyenne Indian Reservation

Time - The government agent is there to gather the kids to go to Carlisle via
railroad

OTHER IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:

• Be sure to use images to relay ideas (they work better than telling)
• A stanza is typically between 6 and 8 lines

Now you are going to get into your city groups. It is important to recognize you
are all in this together. The better each individual song is, the better your whole
project will be so help each other out, make suggestions and give praise when it is
deserved.

Group tasks:

   --share your work so far. Remember this is a first draft. It will have some
strengths but will most likely need to be “finessed”. Listen to each other and
provide solid feedback (1 praise, 1 suggestion per person)

--Once ALL work has been shared and ideas shared, you will consider the
different topics that are present in your city, then you will, as a group,
create a slogan for your city--this will be shared with Mr. Clark and Ms. Carlisto
and will be recorded

What is a slogan?

It is a short memorable phrase that captures the essence of the place

HW: Prepare for and schedule with a teacher your flipgrid redo

"finalize" your first stanza you will need it for the beginning of class tomorrow
