Valentine's Day
L is for the way you look at me
People who would like to have a romantic relationship with somebody may use the occasion to make this known, often anonymously.
O is for the only one I see
Valentine’s Day Across the Curriculum
V is very very, extraordinary
Is there a place for love and romance—or, at least, the history, sociology, economics, statistics, science and literature of love and romance
E is even more than anyone that you adore

Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI thought this was an interesting poem with great style and structure. What really drew my attention was how you structured the poem. I like how you broke the lyrics of the song up with a news article headline coming after each lyric. I also liked how you tried to use the news article headline to try to further explain the meaning of the lyric that came before the article. You also chose a wonderful theme that goes right along with the holiday that is quickly approaching. The only thing that does not seem to make sense is the lyric that came after the lyric with extraordinary. I wish you would have found something that went along with or explained that lyric a little better, but overall this showed a great effort!
Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good topic for the week, Valentine’s Day. I do not think I’ve ever heard the song that you quoted, but I think it is interesting the way you fit it into the newsreel. I would agree that on this day a lot of people announce their liking or love for that other person. I think it is cool how the ‘history, sociology, economics, statistics, science and literature’ were brought into the thought of this day. Is there any room for love with these things? I also think it is cool how you sort of correlated the alignment throughout the text.
Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your news reel and found it to be very entertaining while reading. I like the way you’re used the song lyrics for LOVE, throughout your news reel. I really like the choice you made as your topic, because Valentine’s Day is a very romantic and very special to many people all over the world. I like the structure about this too, when you put the Love lyrics on the side it really guides the reader’s eyes to every direction of the page. Awesome job creating images with your words and making the reader’s use their feelings while they read.
