Lyrics

The author’s gotta have a purpose

Got to have some P.I.E.

Persuade, Inform, Entertain

Don’t forget to have some

 

Pie (P.I.E.)

 

Today I’m gonna write something,

But I’m not sure what to say

I must choose my words carefully

It’s the only way to explain.

 

Somebody say “P” > P!

P is for persuade

It’s the first letter in our pie

It means we’ve got to convince our readers that we know what we’re talking about here’s why,

 

Because…

The Author’s gotta have a purpose

Got to have some P.I.E.

Persuade, Inform, Entertain

Don’t forget to have some

 

Pie (P.I.E.)

 

Somebody say “I” >I!

I is for inform, we’ve got to teach the reader what we know.

Inform means to educate

Our words will help our reader’s grow

 

Somebody say “E” > E!

E stands for entertain.  Our reader’s got to have some fun.

Do you enjoy reading every single word you write?

Chances are so will everyone!

 

You see…

The Author’s gotta have a purpose

Got to have some P.I.E.

Persuade, Inform, Entertain

Don’t forget to have some

 

Pie (P.I.E.)

Lyrics

Make Your Claim

Use your argument, your words to win, or lose now

Make Your Claim

Use your argument, your words to win, or lose now

Make Your Claim

Use your argument, your words to win, or lose now

Make Your Claim

Use your argument, your words to win, or lose now



If you want the power first you make a claim
Think of all the reasons, for your argument
Evidence you reasons unpack and explain unpack and explain
Y’all can’t touch my claim

 

CHORUS


This is how I feel, this is why I feels it
My evidence is real my reasons are the ceiling
And I got proof from a credible source?
Evidence for reasons I reinforce

 

So what? Counterclaim and rebuttal

So what? Counterclaim and rebuttal

So what? Counterclaim and rebuttal
Get out of my way
Y’all can’t touch my claim     

 

CHORUS [ROBOT FILTER]

Lyrics

Sound Smarter x 4

RAP

Sound smarter it ain’t that hard could be the difference between getting my attention sparked
I wanna lean in, I’m trying to connect. You’ve got me in the palm if your coming correct
They say birds of a feather, we flock together, whether you like it or not were all connected
You don’t have to feel my claim, but you’ll respect my flow.
You can’t discount or question what my intellect is


Get Organized, baby get it together, no borderline get smarter
Get Organized, baby get it together, no borderline get smarter    

Sound Smarter x 4

You need to sort and categorize, what is your main idea you need to synthesize
We talkin boxes and bullets, flow charts, and  cause and effect
talkin problem solution a timeline come correct
with a story arc a sequence and order, maybe compare and contrast to tighten up this disorder
You need a claim brah evidenced with some reasons
if you want to sound smarter get  organized and believe it

Get Organized, baby get it together, no borderline get smarter
Get Organized, baby get it together, no borderline get smarter    

Sound Smarter x 13

Lyrics

I just need to get ahead,
so what if the words that I type up aren’t necessarily from my head?
Oh I just want to turn it in
Nobody’s gonna notice, get away with stealing

Whose words are these?
Cuz they ain’t yours
Whose words are these?
Better cite your source

Whose words are these?
Cuz they ain’t yours
Whose words are these?
Better cite your source

Whose words are these?
Cuz they ain’t yours
Whose words are these?
Better cite your source

 
I just want to get an A,
so what if the words that I type up aren’t necessarily from my head?
Oh I just want to turn it in
Nobody’s gonna notice, get away with stealing

Lyrics

Stuck in a hollow
I’m a shell of myself I don’t want to stick out

Safer to follow
I can fade, be afraid, why stand? I can sit down

Tell me believe it, so I receive it
I’m strong I do belong, I’m strong I do belong
Help me to see it, so I can be it
I’m strong I do belong, I’m strong I do belong      

I’ve got to take a chance on me

Lyrics

I’m First Your Second 

I’m First Your Second

I’m First Your Second

I’m First Your Second

He or She is third

 

Chorus


It’s not a race, not a rank, it’s a choice
is your narrator 1st person 2nd person or 3rd person

1st person = I me we us,   if your telling the story
then your a major participant

2nd person = that it’s all about you. Advertising, songs, and speeches like to use this point of view


Chorus

3rd person rocks pronouns… like he, she, they
3rd person objective tells facts but doesn’t convey
Any characters feelings or thoughts—that’s 3rd person omniscient.

If they only know a few though
that’s 3rd person omniscient limited

Lyrics


Read like this, so you can write like this

Read like this, so you can write like this
Sniff out a theme like a hound dog
Uncover motivations a detective on a case
Which words make your head nod
What sentences capture your thoughts to relate

Diagnose a plot like a physician
What are the big ideas? What techniques are used?
How does she organize flow and transition?
How does his personality shine through?

Lyrics

Clap three times, you’ve been writing an incredible story.

Now stomp five times, you’ve been working for a long time.

Drop down to your belly, put your arms out like you’re soaring.

If you write a great book, you can make your reader fly.

 

So what’s going on in the story to keep this reader entertained?

‘Cause I’m losing interest. What’s going to make this reader stay?

 

Whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha problem? (What’s your problem?)

Whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha problem? (What’s your problem?)

Whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha problem? (What’s your problem?)

Whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha problem? (What’s your problem?)

Could this character be my friend?

Could they overcome something?

‘Cause if not, this reader might jump jump jump to another book.

 

Clap three times, you’ve been writing an incredible story.

Now stomp five times, you’ve been working for a long time.

Drop down to your belly, put your arms out like you’re soaring.

If you write a great book, you can make your reader fly.

 

So what’s going on in the story to keep this reader entertained?

‘Cause I’m losing interest. What’s going to make this reader stay?

Lyrics

Stand up for what you have to say(Stand up)

Stand up for what you have to say

Stand up for what you have to say(and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say (Stand up and own it)

 

I am a public speaker

I practice all the time

Bounce words right off the mirror

Calm, confident, and poised

 

Make sure to speak words clearly

Not too quiet, or too loud

try not to speak too fast or slow

Sometimes I pause to move a crowd

  

Stand up for what you have to say(and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say(and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say(Stand up and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say (Stand up and own it) 

  

I am a public speaker

I practice all the time

Bounce words right off the mirror

Calm, confident, and poised

 

I directly address my audience

With counter arguments and questions

It’s important to connect them

I use eye contact and gestures

  

Stand up for what you have to say(and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say(and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say(Stand up and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say (Stand up and own it) 

  

Stand Up, Stand Up, Stand Up (Stand Up and own it)

Stand Up, Stand Up, Stand Up (Stand Up and own it)

Stand Up, Stand Up, Stand Up (Stand and own it)

Stand up for what you have to say (Stand up and own it)

  

Stand Up!

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.
