On Friday the class decided to do one song for a music video. The song that was leading in the choice category was the song below, done by a Canadian dentist that has some good advice and a hopeful mood.  We gave the weekend for more choices to come in if someone found something else. No more choices were submitted, so here is our song.

Remember our lessons last week on rhythm in poetry. Lots of rhythm in this song. The song also has personification, metaphor, simile, alteration and repetition.

Let’s Kick It

Virus Baby

Corona Virus Baby

Alright Stop, Self-Isolate and Listen

Covid’s back, it’s a brand new version

The Virus, grabs a hold of you tightly

Grip like a harpoon Ye It’s frightening

Will it ever stop?

Yo! I hope so

Stock up on pasta

and bog roll

Ye it’s extreme, it’s global, international 

                                     Bleach everything, wipe the floor and door handles                                  14

Hand sanitizer market has boomed!

I’m staying in doing tik toks in my bedroom

Deadly!! Corana is the enemy

Scientist doing there best to make a remedy

Washing and cleaning yourself all day

Social distancing,  Please stay away!

Yes it’s a problem, but we’ll solve it!

Let’s stick together and we can resolve it!!

Virus Baby

Corona Virus Baby

Corona Virus Baby

Corona Virus Baby

Yo  just be careful out there

                                                            Let’s love one another                                                         28

Some options for our class version

1. We lip synch/act out the song

2. We lip sync/act out half the song

3. We sing the song,

4. We come up with our own lyrics to sing

Whatever we come up with, if you hand it in to me by Friday I can edit it so all our contributions end up on one song. 

Update-Class decision-Number 1 above was the resounding winner

-So act out, lip synch, the song above. 

-If you still want to sing, great, I should be able to edit that in. 

-Be creative, feel free to enlist the help of our stuffed animals, pets, siblings, parents, etc.

-If the whole song is too much for you (but it is only 80 seconds), then do half the song

-Handin by Friday so the teacher can combine everyones contribution.
