Oct 30: Five Frame Stories – Speaking / Representing

Hey Leah, here’s a little gift for you!

We recently completed a fairly brief formative speaking / representing activity. Each of you had pick out five images that you would then base a short story on; your five pictures had to represent aspects of the beginning, middle, and ending of your future story-to-be. The twist, though, was that I then said I was going to give your Five Frames to someone else randomly for them to develop a short story that matched the pictures you selected. It caught you all off guard, but you had a great time with it.

When you’d finished writing it out, you presented it by reading your written story aloud to the class while we followed along with the five images. After that, you went even one step further and added your audio of you reading with the images in a video file. Here’s your video that you made, then! May it be an example of your early work with speaking, writing, and representing and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy listening to this years down the road near graduation! :)

I am Sam: Songs That Relate

All You Need is Love- The Beatles

This song is related to I am Sam because when Lucy is on the stand she actually says “all you need is love”. This sort of proves her point when she says that. Also they had other Beatles songs in the movie, so I thought that it would fit well.

The Beatles Lyrics

“My Little Girl” Tim McGraw

I choose this song because it fits with the movie in the way that Lucy is Sam’s little girl. The song talks about his daughter leaving. That is almost what is happening to Sam. The song is more about the daughter leaving home, but it still fits. This song would fit best when they are riding on the bus, when Lucy said that they could go to the park but they really were not supposed to.
   My Little Girl Lyrics

“See you again” Wiz Khalifa

I choose this song because it sort of shows the message that Sam will see Lucy again. This song would fit best into the scene where Lucy is taken away from Sam. It also talks about family and how that is all that they have.

See You Again Lyrics

“Temporary Home” Carrie Underwood

I choose this song because Lucy goes to the house that her adoptive parents live. She doesn’t really like it there and the boy in the song doesn’t really like his foster family’s home either. I feel that it really suits this movie.
