English 10H:  Off day extra credit!!!!  The first 10 people who respond to this by emailing me (sobarand@smsd.org) will get a 5 point bonus (that's a letter grade) added to their Fahrenheit test.  The next 10 responses will earn a 2.5 point bonus. Here you go:  As many of you know by now, I love to listen to music.  One of my favorite singers is Patsy Cline.  Her voice is beautiful and her songs are so poetic that it is almost as if she is singing to me directly sometimes.  In singing directly to me, Patsy isn't just singing to Drew Baranowski the person, she is also singing to Drew Baranowski the teacher.  Naturally, that means that she is singing about elements of our lives here at school too.  Find lyrics to any Patsy Cline song and make a thematic comparison to any of the stories we have read in class.  In an email, identify and briefly explain the song/lyrics that you chose and how they are actually Patsy Cline's veiled attempt to sing about literature that we are reading here in English 10H.  Your analysis must make sense, and should impress me, for credit.

5 point bonus winners: Alissa M, Gillian B, Emma J, Olivia L, Lauren A, Trisha O, Addie N, Sunny H.  Good job ladies! Andrew A, Cameron M.  The 5 pointers are spoken for.

2.5 point bonus winners: Emma Kate S, Zack R, Amelia H, Julie J, Rakeya M, Emily F, Rachel A, Natalie P, Stella S, Sarah P.
