Assignment: Write a parody or similar song lyrics using the Happy Song as your model. Write a draft, then revise for homework and turn in on Thursday. Also turn in your "Place" poem that was from last week, inspired by the "Library" poem by Nikki Giovanni. Due 3/20/14.
DRAFT
Because I'm angry
Clap along if you feel like your world's about to end
Clap along if you feel like you lost your best friend
Clap along if you feel like you 8th grade year is done
Clap along if you feel like work here is no fun.
It might sound crazy what I'm ranting about
Snow clouds are forming: I'm not OK
I'm a black balloon slipping into the night
This world is too tough to get it right.
