Winter Holiday History “Carol”
Directions
 |
Choose a Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanza "carol" to re-word. |
|
Then choose an historical topic, event, individual personality, or historical group and re-word your "carol" with lines pertaining to that choice. It must be a topic from 1st semester. |
|
You must have at least eight, 4-line main stanzas, or six, 6+ line main stanzas. [The chorus doesn't figure in to this count, even though you have to re-write the chorus as well]. |
|
Your new version of the "carol" must follow the same pace, cadence, syllables, and rhyming pattern as the original! |
|
Type out your history "carol" [you can get fancy, if you wish] and email me a copy as a Word file. |
|
DUE DATE --> Monday, December 21, 2009. |
Bonus Credit
|
This bonus assignment is worth 30 bonus points. |
|
If you want to sing your "carol" to the class, we will do so on the last school day before the holiday break. This is worth an additional 10 points. |
This site has instrumental versions of many of the "Winter Holiday Carols"
With thanks and kudos to Mrs. Pojer, the originator of this assignment.
