Extra Credit--Soundtrack to Life

Directions:
You have an opportunity to earn up to 5% extra credit for your overall grade in the class by creating your own soundtrack to life and writing about it. In order to get the extra credit you must do the following and submit your results to Mr. Hall by Monday, June 7th.
All songs must fit on one cd (the cd must be full—the equivalent of 80 minutes worth of music)
You cannot have more than one song by a single artist. For example, if I have one song by U2 on my playlist I cannot put another U2 song on the list.
The songs must have some sort of significance to your life—either the lyrics relate to some aspect of your life or the song reminds you of a particular experience or time.
You must list your playlist in sequential order.
You must write one paragraph for each song explaining what the song is basically about and why it is significant to your life.
Optional: you may burn a cd if you want Mr. Hall to listen to your soundtrack. This is not required.

1. I’M FROM BARCELONA--TREEHOUSE
I have chosen this song to begin my soundtrack because it reminds me of my earliest memories from childhood. All of the neighborhood kids used to get together every summer and build different forts, huts, and tree-houses either at people’s homes or more commonly out in the lemon grove or “jungle” which were two wooded areas near our homes. My favorite hut was a secret underground structure that we built in the lemon grove. We had dug two huge holes with a little crawl space between, then took huge boards to place over it. We then covered the boards with dirt so that nobody could tell that anything was there. We would then remove a small board that covered up the opening in order to get in and out of the little hut.

*To complete the assignment I would have to write a paragraph for each of the twenty songs (totaling 20 paragraphs).
