[LIT] Motivation in Music

[bmaddox at comcast.net]

I received a post card advertisement last week from BlueNose Edutainment, sponsored by McDougal Littell with this website:
www.BlueNoseEd.com
and checked it out.  This is a contest that calls for your students to submit their own lyrics, song ideas, or itnerpretaions to win some pretty good prizes.  The site provides popular songs and standard-based lesson plans from McDougal Littell.  While my cursory examination didn't make the site look as engaging for most of my students (appealed more to the Hannah Montana and clean-cut mainstream pop than to hip-hop), I'm still going to ask my students to take a look.  Deadine for entries is May 15, 2008 with winners announced July 1.
