Music and writing
天收到下面这封信,顺势找了找她提到的2首歌,All Shook Up 和Hound Dog。
Hi!
Music is a powerful way to communicate.
Through words and sound, artists become famous by sharing songs that
make people want to move and listen to the same song over and over again.
Elvis Presley is famous for rock songs such as "Hound Dog"
and "All Shook Up."
Elvis was so popular he was known as "The King."
Unfortunately, he died in 1977.
Or did he?
Some people thought he got so tired of all his fame that he decided
to go into hiding. Every now and then someone will claim to have
seen Elvis alive and walking around.
Imagine that you spotted Elvis.
Where would he be?
At the mall, maybe, or working as a teacher?
Would he be wearing a disguise?
Write a story about spotting Elvis the King.
If you have a different artist that has passed away or is still living that
you would like to write a story about instead, go for it.
I am really enjoying all the stories you are sharing and the e-mails.
Some people are asking for more challenging prompts.
I love that so much!
If you have any questions or need different prompts, send me an e-mail
and I will deliver!
Hope your summer is going well so far and remember to write from the heart!
Mrs. Platt
P.S. Here are YouTube videos of Elvis singing "Hound Dog"
and "All Shook Up." Enjoy!
