Any teachers out there looking for a very cool back to school writing assignment? I did this last year with my 8th graders - and they LOVED it! Okay... not all of them loved it. It pushed a lot of 13/14 year olds way out of their comfort zone - but that is GOOD! Scott, Nick and I were driving home from looking at colleges last summer... and with a little help from Johnny Cash... this *fun* idea popped into my head. It became a group project when Scott started singing the first stanza - and I had to quickly write it down: Well the last day of school in the middle of June (a) And I didn’t know what I was gonna be doin’ (a) But I knew I wanted the summer to be the best there ever was (b) So I set my sights on some adventurous fun (c) I lathered up with sunscreen and headed out in the sun (c) And soon was doing just what a young kid does (b) The kids had to then write about their adventurous summer - using a specific rhyming pattern, and then they had to get up and sing it/say it/rap it to their classmates to the music of "One Piece at a Time" by Johnny Cash. Check it out! It was extremely entertaining! ![]() Click on it to see it in my TPT store!
