Assignment #2- Choose Your Own Adventure

You are assembling the necessary materials for our study of effective writing.  This is the task over the next few days in the computer lab.

Save your reviews on the server.  Make note of the source.  Print all material.  Edit the copies so that you will be comfortable annotating.

  1. Locate four album reviews of an album released within the past year.  Look no farther than the links to your immediate right on the blog.  Professional writers only.
  2. Read the reviews.  Pick the writer/critic/reviewer that  has the most talent.  Find four different album reviews by the same author.  Attempt to find a range of positive and negative reviews.
  3. Find lyrics to your top five songs.  Minimum of two different genres.  Hip Hop + Country + Screamo for example.
  4. Find lyrics to the worst lyrics.  Cliche, missed metaphor, or whatever...
Feckless- A)Lacking purpose or vitality; feeble or ineffective. B) Careless and irresponsible.
Gauche- Lacking grace or social polish; awkward or tactless
