Choice Reading
Once again my choice reading topic is lyrics and chords. The lyrics to the chords are from a song called, Can’t help falling in love with you. Originally it is by Elvis, but I am learning how to play the version by Ingrid Michaelson. The song starts off saying “wise men say only fools rush in, but I can’t help falling in love with you.” The whole song basically progresses from there saying that she/he doesn’t care what the world says and that they are meant to be. It is a very sweet song J . I chose this song because I already knew how to play the chords C and G on the guitar and this song started off with a G and C and then I taught my self the rest of the chords. I also like the sound of the song so it was just a perfect choice for me. The reading strategies I used while reading this text would be “re-reading” because I have to practice over and over in order to learn the song.
I love your authentic purpose for choosing to read this text. I am also excited about the evidence of your flexibility in the ways you are thinking about text and literacy! YEA!
