Look at the famous parodies at the link below. http://www.amiright.com/parody/performers/y/yankeedoodledandymusical.shtml

There are plenty of other famous songs out there that deserve to be parodied. You'll be taking a song that you know and can sing (think of campfire songs, like //Home on the Range//), and you'll be writing new lyrics for that song.

__**Criteria:**__ 1. Your song parody must be about a topic associated with **reduce, reuse, and recycle.** 2. You must submit typed **original** lyrics A search-able database is located at: from home try: http://www.songlyrics.com/ at school try: http://elyrics.net 3. **Your** lyrics must be typed. An electronic file will be uploaded to the Moodle Forum and a hard copy submitted to Mrs. Murray. 4. You must submit an audio file of your song to Mrs. Murray. 5. You may work alone, with a partner or in a group. Group size should reflect the amount of work performed by the group. You will receive an individual score for your contribution to the group. You may also work with students from other periods to complete the project. 6. Other class defined criteria.
