CARE Awards: Respect

I researched about the very well known song ‘Respect”by Aretha Franklin as a CARE Award about Respect. I found out that the song was originally by artist, Otis Redding. Aretha Franklin's song won two grammys as it was said to be one of the best R&B songs of the era. Franklin’s song focuses on female empowerment and is about a strong confident woman, wanting respect from her partner.

The Lyrics to the song can be found at this link: RESPECT LYRICS

Working with my Critical Friend

Today, Room 5 and Room 6 students collaborated together, to alter and edit copied documents of their writing samples from Term 4. I worked with Tamin on this, and first we worked on my document. We used the rubric to help us see what stage our text was at, and the next steps in order to move our writing to the next level. Our critical friends help us by seeing the mistakes in our writing that we don't see ourselves. I'm really grateful for participating in this because I've seen alot of the mistakes that I've kept making in my writing.
