Joyful Noises Poems for two voices
Students in 3-261 created their own poems for two voices after listening to examples from the book Joyful Noises, poems for two voices by Paul Fleischman. Students had a blast rehearsing and acting out their poems.
After rehearsals students used GarageBand to record, edit and publish their poetry.

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
We’ve all enjoyed reading The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and we’ve all discussed the important message that Dr. Seuss wanted us to remember. He shared this message in this important quote:
“Unless someone like you care’s a whole awful lot, nothing’s going to get better, it’s not.”
What does this quote mean to you?
How do you show that you care about the environment?
