This morning, as I was planning out my NWP Makes! Session a bit more for next Saturday at the National Writing Project Annual Meeting, it dawned on me that a dance party stopmotion movie is what my group should create during our hour long working time (and then, they will document what we have done with technical writing). They’ll be using clay and wikistix to create little people.
And, so, I thought: I need to write a song for the video. A song about an NWP Dance Party. So, I composed it (using some music software) and wrote it and recorded it this morning, and have it now all set to go for the session.
Wanna hear it?
And here are the lyrics:
Put down your pens
Put down your papers
Put down your laptop
‘Cause you’ll get to it laterYou’ve got to move-move
You’ve got to shake it – shake it
You’ve got to bend it back
An don’t even try to fake itNWP Dance Party!
Ten thousand words
Can say the same thing
But this is like a language
that can make your heart singCome on the dance floor
And give it a little shake
Who knows where it’ll go
or what you can makeNWP Dance Party!
Peace (in the boogie),
Kevin
I’m dancin’ can you see me? Love it!
