Week 8 Literacy Task

Your job is to re-write the lyrics to a well known song.

For example the song I want to be a Billionaire by Jason Miraz could become ,

I want to be a Rugby player re-a-l-ly bad
meet some friends I never thought I'd have
I wanna be on the cover of sports magazine
smiling next to Richie and Carter

But every time I close my eyes
I see myself getting hurt
A different in-jury
every week
Oh I,  i'm so un prepared
For when Im a rugby player
 oh oh
For When Im a rugby player

Handwriting Sample

Mr. Brown The Circus Clown

Mr. Brown, the circus clown
puts his clothes on upside down.
He wears his hat upon his toes
and socks and shoes upon his nose.

He ties his ties around his thighs
and wraps his belt around his eyes.
He hangs his earrings from his hips
and stockings from his fingertips.

He puts his glasses on his feet
and shirt and coat around his seat.
And when he's dressed, at last he stands
and walks around upon his hands.
--Kenn Nesbitt
