L You will have two days to complete this project.  Choose your team carefully, and use your time wisely.  Your grade will be lowered if you are disruptive and/or off task  L

[Suggestions:  Try to have song titles that relate to each adventure and each main character.  Put some time into this project.  For instance, do not have song titles that require no thought, such as:  Cheese, One-eyed Giant, Ithaca, etc.  Use poetic devices: Layin’ Low in Lotus Land or Chillin’ in the Cave. Do a first draft, peer review/edit it for errors, and then make a final neat, colorful copy – but proofread that one for errors, too.  Most importantly, take pride in your work.]

"He who learns but does not think is lost! 
He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger!"
