We will have Ben Joseph Vernon, a professional music producer and composer, visit our classroom to help our students write and record songs that explore important aspects of their individual identity and experiences that also speak to a larger social issue, or set of social issues. This project provides the opportunity for a rich exploration of self and the broader society in which they experience. The conventions of the memoir genre in song are different than writing a research paper or a literary essay. Creativity and self-expression are central to writing an effective memoir. Students' personal writing, speaking, and thinking style is an asset. This project integrates storytelling, musical composition, civics, critical analysis and engaged citizenship through the arts. Musicians and artists are some of the most important vessels for promoting understanding of the human experience.
