Shalle's homework for next week

1. For Monday:
   
   • Choose one of the 3 topics you turned in today; it should be the one that interests you the most. Why does this artist and this artwork interest you? Explain in exploratory writing. (Don't do listing. Write your thoughts in sentences.)
2. For Wednesday:
   
   • Analyze the lyrics (verb changes) in Change of Heart, sung by Teddy Thompson. Many of the verbs are in the simple past. Why do you think the present perfect is used at the beginning? Why does the verb tense change (for the first line) change at the end of the song? Be prepared to discuss this in class on Wednesday. If you missed class, see the links to the lyrics and song above.
     
   • Read all of "You Say Tomato". Focus on the 2nd example in lines 14-26. Instead of writing a summary, answer these questions in your own words:
   1. What 2 groups are talked about in the example?
   2. What problem did the 2 groups have with email?
   3. How did they resolve their problem?

FYI - Here's a link to the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off". The title of the reading is a cultural reference to this song by Ira and George Gershwin, famous American songwriters.
