My Favourite Line

I was inspired to try this assignment by a post by @kaits_.

-

This is probably my favourite line from any song. It's in The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon & Garfunkel. It reminds me of all the things I have to smile about.

-

I like how the black background provides high contrast and I chose red and white for the text because those are the colours of a smile. I wanted to play up the alliteration in "to do today" so I used short lines. I also tried to make smile look as much like a smile as I could.

Character Study Idea

How well do our students know the characters in the novels they are reading, or the historical figures they are studying? We could ask them to write a report or an essay, but what about getting our students to choose the character's theme song?
For example:

copyright Archie Comics
www.archiecomics.com

It would get students to engage with characters in new ways and forge connections between literature, or history, and their interests.

What would your favourite character's theme song be?
