Parody

This week students took the state test. They were totally burnt out by Friday so I decided to have some fun. I played a few Weird Al songs and we discussed the techniques he used in his parody of each. Then I set the kids loose to choose a song and create a parody of their own. the rules were that it could not use the same lyrics as the original, must be school appropriate, contain either a pun, metaphor, character, or sketch of an experience - as Weird Al's did. They will perform them next week. As you can see they had a great time working on them.
