In honor of Black History Month and to also take on the task of creating your own parodies you will be given a Michael Jackson song in class. Once you have your song you must find the lyrics and turn it into a parody. (Think of Weird Al Yankovic and "Eat It.")
You have three components to complete with your groups:
1. Song Background - Tell me when the song was written or recorded, did it win any awards?
2. Parodied lyrics - You need to print me a copy of your new lyrics that you create. You don't have to change every single word, but remember what a parody is supposed to be -- a humorous imitation or exaggeration of the original song in this case.
3. Visual/Audio - Your group can either create a music video, record an audio version of your song, or perform your song as a skit in class. There is no escape so just be ready to laugh at yourself and just have fun!
The completed project will be due March 2 (Period 4) and March 3 (Periods 1,3,5)
for a total of 15 points.
I can't wait to see the finished products. I am looking forward to seeing what you create. :)
