Hello Everyone,
Last week I posted about how I have been doing some Pearl Jam with my students in my Grade 5 Class with great success! viewtopic.php?f=4&t=121552
Anyways after doing wishlist with them I decided for my extension activity to have them write the next verse of the song. They loved it.....so I decided to share them with you and hopefully use your opinions to help decide which ones we would add when we perform the song at our Spring concert. (we need four....I tried to select some of the best ones)
*****PLEASE BE KIND AND KEEP IN MIND THESE WERE WRITTEN BY 10 and 11 YEAR OLDS....who may be reading this forum please be nice.... ******
1. I wish I was the special one to go and touch the sky
2. I wish I was your confidence to help you stand up strong
3. I wish I was the drummer who plays beats everynight
4. I wish I was the stars above to brighten up your sky
5. I wish I was a soldier who could bring peace to the war
6. I wish I was an old guitar that made people cheer on
7. I wish I was the candle to light up someones life
8. I wish I was the memories of old that came back to me
Thanks!!!!

I think this line goes best with the rest of the song.
5. I wish I was a soldier who could bring peace to the war
I can hear Ed adlibbing this at a show.
8. I wish I was the memories of old that came back to me
Just like this line.
Kudos again for coming up with this. Hope my kids are as fortunate...as fortunate as the ones you teach.

I would go with:
I wish I was the stars above to brighten up your sky
"I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine..."
If I had to pick one - it would be number 2.
Great idea too!

outstanding!
I wish I was your confidence to help you stand up strong
I wish my 5th grader had a teacher like you...
my favorite, but they all great.

slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
ride"!
