Internal character traits are what makes you just what you are.

We cannot see or assume these traits unless you show your heart.

External physical traits are what we see when you arrive.

Internal and external traits help to reveal when combined.

 

I.D.E.N.T.I.T.Y

Set qualities and beliefs that are me, mine.

I.D.E.N.T.I.T.Y

Set qualities and beliefs that are me, mine.

Lyrics

B-b-b-brainstorm, 

organize, and write, 

write, write, write, 

draft and re-write again!

Edit – revise, 

don’t forget to capitalize! 

Write, write, 

publish at the end.

 

Step up, step up! 

Won’t you come inside. 

Writing is easy 

when you a abide 

by these simple steps, 

now you’re doing it right: 

motivate, organize, 

review, and revise!

 

Motivation is the spark 

that makes you write. 

It could be something you 

love, or strongly dislike.

You could write about your 

dog, or your trip to Spain

…or when you fell off of your 

bike and found yourself in pain. 

 

Now you organize your thoughts 

and put them in order. 

You can do it on paper, 

or with a recorder.

Then put your pen to paper, 

and write out a rough draft, 

and you’ll be on your way 

to mastering the craft. 

 

Chorus

 

You’ve written your draft, 

now it’s time for review. 

Share it with a friend 

and find something new.

Pass it around until you 

get some feedback.

You can find out what’s strong 

and what your piece lacks. 

 

You’ve got your critique, 

it’s time for revisions. 

Operate like a surgeon 

and make some incisions. 

Then you polish it up 

for the final presentation,

and ready your bow 

for your standing ovation.

 

Chorus x2

Lyrics

All the magic, to make it happen, starts with a paper and a pen

Imagination, to my creation, starts with a paper and a pen

All the magic, to make it happen, starts with a paper and a pen 

Imagination, to my creation, starts with a paper and a pen

 

I am awesome! I am creative!

I write my future, it starts inside my head.

(little louder!)

I am awesome. I am creative.

I write my future, it starts inside my head.

 

All the magic, to make it happen, starts with a paper and a pen. 

Imagination, to my creation, starts with a paper and a pen.

 

I am awesome! I am creative!

I write my future. It starts inside my head.

(little louder)

I am awesome! I am creative!

I write my future, it starts inside my head.

 

(Adventures in Writing Camp!)

 

All the magic, to make it happen, starts with a paper and a pen. 

Imagination, to my creation, starts with a paper and a pen.

All the magic, to make it happen, starts with a paper and a pen. 

Imagination, to my creation, starts with a paper and a pen.

Lyrics

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

 

Dream a story up, write a story down

Pencil to the paper, write a story down.

Take your first draft, read it out loud

It doesn’t serve a purpose, then you gotta chop it out

 

Chop it out now. Chop it out now.

Chop it out now. Chop it out now.

Chop it out now. Chop it out now.

 

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

 

Dream a story up, write a story down

Pencil to the paper, write a story down.

Take your first draft, read it out loud

It doesn’t serve a purpose, then you gotta chop it out

 

Chorus

 

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Put your hands up like a pair of scissors

Let me hear you clap, now chop it out

Lyrics

Idioms have multiple meanings.

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

Idioms have multiple meanings.

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

 

Grab the bull by the horns, put your foot down

Put your foot down, put your foot down

Grab the bull by the horns, put your foot down

Put your foot down, put your foot down

 

Keep your chin up, now bend over backwards

Keep your chin up, now bend over backwards

Keep your chin up, now bend over backwards

Keep your chin up, now bend over backwards

 

You got ants in your pants, shake a leg

If you got ants in your pants, shake a leg

If you got ants in your pants, shake a leg

If you got ants in your pants, shake a leg

 

Idioms have multiple meanings. (Keep your fingers crossed)

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

Idioms have multiple meanings. (Now get this monkey off my back)

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

 

You gotta make waves, make waves, 

make waves, make waves

And roll with the punches, roll with the punches,

roll with the punches, roll with the punches

 

Rock the boat if you’re in a pickle

Rock the boat if you’re in a pickle

March to the beat of a different drummer

Just march to the beat of a different drummer

 

Keep a straight face now, no monkey business,

no monkey business, no monkey business

Keep a straight face now, no monkey business,

no monkey business, no monkey business

 

Literal, what does it say?

Figurative, what does it convey?

Remember with literal, what does it say?

Figurative, what does it convey?

 

Idioms have multiple meanings.

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

Idioms have multiple meanings.

Literal or figurative, which way are your leaning?

Get this monkey off my back!

Lyrics

Do you have an ending? x5

 

You can reflect, or circle back to the beginning (start off with a bang!)

You can give some advice, a moral or a lesson learned

You can end with a twist, cliffhanger or big feelings

Share wishes, hopes or dreams

Dialogue, a quote, describe a scene,  or end with a question

 

Do you have an ending? x4

Lyrics

If you want to change the world 

Here’s your opportunity 

To create a world of your own

In books and on TV

Let your imagination carry you to anything you want to be

When you become a character for all the world to see

 

Put your pen to paper!

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

Rivals in Rhyme

 

Every song you ever heard, began inside a writer’s head

Every line in every movie, that every character has said

We’ll write the next amazing book that everybody’s read

We could be a Mister Lemur, or we could be YOU instead!

 

Put your pen to paper!

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme
