One of my students posted this on her blog… she’ll be presenting it tonight in class. I’m looking forward to it! Here’s a parody, by Meagan Gemperlein
At the beginning of the semester, I had blogged about hating blogging, but really in the end it wasn’t that terrible. I came to see how it can be useful in a classroom setting and help promote classroom discussion. So the song parody is a realization that blogging can only help you understand something and not hurt you.
BLOGGING IN THE USA
A Song Parody of “Party in the USA” sung by Miley Cyrus
I started reading Huck Finn mid October with a hope to understand the text
But then who’s this dude who’s talking weird
Woah, gotta be a dialect
Figured out it’s Huck an he’s the main character
The book’s his adventure down the Mississippi River
But this is all so crazy
Cause I can’t understand a word he’s saying
My head is hurting and I’m feeling really confused
Too much reading and I’m uptight
That’s when I mark the page and just move on
I’ll just blog it later on, I’ll just blog it later on, I’ll just blog it late on
CHORUS:
So I sign on to my blog and I write my thoughts away
My classmate comment like yeah
And I get new ideas like yeah
So I sign on to my blog
Now I’ll write a thesis that will be OK
Yeah, I’m just blogging in the USA (more)
