In class we did a timed writing. Write a four-paragraph explanatory essay explaining Dr. Seuss' quote, "Only you can control your future." Use the QU.I.E.T. formula:
· Paragraph 1: Explain what the QUOTE means to you. Introduce all the ideas of the essay.
· Paragraph 2: Give an example about how the quote is true for you as an INDIVIDUAL. How can you relate to this quote?
· Paragraph 3: Give an example about how the quote is true for EVERYONE. How can anyone relate to this quote?
· Paragraph 4: Retell what the whole essay was about. Explain what can be TAUGHT from this quote.

Pick a lyric from your favorite song/a song (must be school appropriate) and write a four-paragraph explanatory essay, like the one we did yesterday, but instead of using the quote, use the lyric. Remember, a lyric is only part of the song. It should only be one or two lines. Please do not analyze the video. Use the QU.I.E.T. formula.
Here is an example of how the first two sentences of paragraph one should look:
In Ke$ha’s popular song, Die Young, she sings, “Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young.” To me, this specific lyric means a person should live their life and take chances.
