Eng 111 - Final essays and creative extensions have been assigned for Friday, Dec. 3rd and Monday, Dec, 6th respectively. Eng 112 - Social Commentary Music Assignment Due Friday, December 3rd. to pass in (draft, a copy of the lyrics, good copy with a works cited page):   A two page (minimum) personal response written in MLA format to a song of your choosing (it must have a social commentary vibe and be class appropriate). Your response should be written in essay form and address all or more of the following questions:   - What is significant about the title? (how does it go with the song? Offer an alternative title) - Why did you pick this example? - What is the message the author is trying to get across to the audience? (the message) - What words or phrases create vivid imagery and feeling in the audience? (the audience is you) - Choose specific lyrics, break them down, paraphrase what they are saying in your own words. - Write a brief music review of why the song is important in our world and why it is important to you! Describe why it is a superb lyrical composition and worthy of a spot in our iTunes library.   THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE SOMETHING POETIC. CHOOSE WISELY. KEEP IT CLASS APPROPRIATE. *If you work individually, you pass the assignment in. If you have a partner (approved by me) you will PRESENT your music project to the class.
