Ballad Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, greenest state in the land of the free  Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree, kilt him a b'ar when he was only three Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!  Fought single-handed through the Injun War, till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store An' while he was handlin' this risky chore, made hisself a legend for evermore Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!  He give his word an' he give his hand, that his Injun friends could keep their land An' the rest of his life he took the stand, that justice was due every redskin band Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear! He went off to Congress an' served a spell, fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell, an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcRQedoEyY

  7. Ballad of Davy Crockett Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!  He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell, of his hopes for White House an' fame as well But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell, an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!  When he come home his politickin' done, the western march had just begun So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun, an' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer! His land is biggest an' his land is best, from grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meetin' the test, followin' his legend into the West Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

  11. Allegory • Examples: The Tortoise and the Hare, The Ant and the Grasshopper.

  12. Storyboard • Like a comic strip, it outlines what is happening. • Get a piece of paper from the front (remember to put your name and hour on it). • Draw a storyboard. I will accept stick figures with a decent attempt to look nice. • Get a poem from the back. • Don’t write on the poem. • Return it to the back when you’re done.
