NGSS Aligned Standard

MS-LS1-3

Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems

composed of groups of cells. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding

that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples

could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those

systems.]

ELA Standard

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.7.7

Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and generating

additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.7.8

Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively;

assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and

Youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsNCjWf_Ie4 Lyrics My Ghost We Are Messagers I've heard whispers in the hallways of my mind They haunt the caverns of my heart And I fight day and night in the warring for my soul I feel You closer in the dark

You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost

I'd been held under a spell, but I'm not that dead man walking You resurrect the wreckage of my past Nothing can ever take the life you've breathed in me Spirit consuming all I am

You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost

I'm a new creation The old has passed away You see me as I am My flesh is just a memory And You alone remain

You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost, my ghost

You're my ghost, my ghost You're my ghost You're my ghost

Step 2: Answer the following questions. These questions will help you to start brainstorming your drawing.

1. Based on the lyrics, what is the songs message?

2. What is the mood of the music?

3. Connecting to the music: What lyrics or phrases did you underline (just underline)? Explain why those phrases stood out to you?

Day 18-19 Step 3:

Creating Art Based on Music 1. Based on the song My Ghost by We Are Messangers, you are going to create a piece of

artwork. Drawing paper will be the blank sheet of paper added onto the assignment or you can use any paper to draw. (Choose a different artwork to create than what you did the Commander Days lesson before)

2. This piece of artwork can be any type of art that was inspired by the song and the lyrics.

Your artwork should reflect the song. Here are examples:

-Landscape (picture of the outside based on the mood)

-Portrait (self or another person) based on the people in the song -Drawing a Scene from the song -Abstracted based on the mood by using warm or cool colors -Graphic Design-Create a visual advertisement with the message of the song.

3. Color your picture. You can use any type of media (Crayons, markers, color pencils, paint, gel pens, etc.) (Remember that coloring doesn’t mean crayon, paint, markers). You can use just pencil and use shading and tint with your pencil.

4. Ways to turn in artwork:

-Take a picture and email it to your music teacher: teresa.burns@washington.kyschools.us pamela.nicholas@washington.kyschools.us

-Turn it in when we get back to school Day 20 Step 4: Write a short paragraph on explaining how your artwork reflects the lyrics or the song My Ghost. *Grading Rubric after the drawing paper. Drawing paper is the next sheet. It doesn’t matter which way you turn it to draw.*
