Writing Fix: An I Pod Inspired Writing Lesson: Summertime Inspired Memoirs

Curated by ACT

By listening and then responding to multiple versions of the song "Summertime," students will understand how songs can convey various moods. Writing about a personal summertime memory, students will try to mimic a mood from one of the song versions during a number of quick-writes. At the end of the week, students will pick one summertime memory from their quick-writes to expand on and take through the writing process.
