The Senior Variety Show will be performed Tuesday at 7:00 pm, and Wednesday at 7:00 pm. Tickets are on sale now in the school store, and online at https://johncarroll.org/store/class-2014-senior-variety-show . It's an excellent show, produced entirely by your senior class. It has lots of great music, comedy, and original skits written by the seniors, with tons of jokes about life at John Carroll. Picture a live performance of Saturday Night Live, but all about JC. You'll be doing your own Variety Show in three years, so you really want to check this out!
There are two assignments due Saturday night at midnight. In one assignment, you find the national anthem of the country you and your partner reported on using Spotify, and add it to a new playlist. You should embed a YouTube video of the anthem on your blog. List the lyrics of the anthem on your blog (in English, please). Finally, write some brief comments on the song - what does it sound like? How is it different from our national anthem? What is the tone of this anthem (military, national pride, etc.)? Are the lyrics well-written? This is mandatory, and it is worth 10 points.
The other assignment is worth 10 extra credit points. It's not required, but if you want some easy extra credit points, I recommend doing it. Create a Spotify playlist that includes songs that reflect people's desires to move away from some place (push forces), or songs that show how people love where they live (pull forces). List these songs + artists on your blog, too. This is also due at midnight Saturday night.
Mid-quarter grades will be downloaded on Tuesday, November 25, at 8:30 am. That's why these assignments are due at midnight Saturday - so I have time to grade them. If you turn them in Sunday or Monday, you will not get credit for them.
