ROSA PARKS
Choose a subject
Brainstorm the facts (in order, if applicable)
Start the first line with a four-beat rhythm
Rhyme a second line
LET’S WRITE A POEM ….
December 1, 1955; what a great day to be alive.
Rosa Parks got on the bus; that’s what started all the fuss.
She sat down in the middle section , black and white intersection
White gets on and pays his money ; there was no seat, not too
funny
Do dah dippity black , Do dah dippity white
Take your side, what is right? Take your side, start the fight.
Bus driver yells, get outta that seat ; Stand up colored, get on
your feet
Rosa refused to even move ; the bus driver’s not with that groove
Rosa is arrested and thrown in jail , but that’s not the end of this
here tale !
Start and end with the same
chord.
Play the music students composed
while students sing (or rap) the
lyrics they wrote.
Record all of this in Audacity.
The King of England made a rule ~ The pilgrims thought it wasn’t cool
The King said to worship his own way ~ So the pilgrims went away
Break…………………………………..
Off to Holland they did go ~ Got no jobs, they were po’
Their children started speaking Dutch ~ Their parents didn’t like it much
Break…………………………………..
Back to England on a ship ~ Started on a risky trip
The Mayflower was a small boat ~ They hoped that it would stay a float
Break…………………………………..
Six – ty -six days at sea ~ Sick, cold and hungry
They got to land, made a compact ~ Yes, they did, that’s a fact
Break…………………………………..
Off the ship and on to land ~ Prayed to God, knelt in the sand

Score student mastery of the standard,

A WORD ABOUT RUBRICS
Our goal should not be
proficiency in the use of
the app or program … it,
instead, should be the
mastery of the learning
objectives.
