If you were a cartoon character, who would you be, and why? Insert a picture or a video of your cartoon doppelganger.
Ms. Davis's Answer:
I would be Lois Griffin from Family Guy. I used to have the same haircut as she does, a bob, and my friends think I have the same sloping nose. It's okay with me because I kind of love her.
2. Inessential or unrelated to the topic or matter at hand; irrelevant.
Extraneous means that it's something extra, something not 100% necessary, something that could be thinned out or pared down quite a bit. The guy in the video is great at adding extraneous lyrics to popular songs and singing them perfectly to the beat. We're going to do the same thing with some of our favorite songs.
Choose a song you like - it must be a song you can find the lyrics to online (so it can't be a song you made up or one with indiscernible lyrics). Use AZLyrics or MetroLyrics to find the song. Then copy and paste the lyrics into your blog - TWICE. Once to show the Original Lyrics, and another time for you to show the new, improved Extraneous Lyrics. Use at least 1 verse or 1 chorus. You can use the Thesaurus to look for other words that mean the same thing. This is sort of like what Weird Al Yankovich does, but you also want to use really long, big words.

Song: Britney Spears Till The World Ends
Original Lyrics:
This kitten got your tongue tied in knots I see
Spit it out cuz im dying for company
I notice that you got it
You notice that I want it
You know that I can take it to the next level ba-by!
If you want this good sh*t
Sicker than the remix
Baby let me blow your mind tonight
Extraneous Lyrics:
This offspring of a feline has that muscle in your mouth with the tastebuds on it twisted I can view with my eyes,
Say what you want to say because I'm about to expire because I'm lonely,
I acknowledge that you have possession of it
You acknowledge that I desire it
You are aware that I can elevate it to the higher plane, young child
Last night, President Barack Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden, the head of Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization responsible for the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, had been killed and that the American forces had possession of his body. This ended a search that some thought might never end.
Think back to September 11, 2001. What do you remember about that day? How old were you? It was a Tuesday, so most of us were at school or on the way to school. Do you remember how you felt? Do you remember hearing a lot about it, or was it just another day? Tell about your day on September 11, 2001.
Ms. Davis's Answer:
I was a sophomore in college, and since it was the beginning of the year, my roommate and I had not gotten the cable connected yet. My mom called to wake me up after the first tower had been hit. Or maybe after it fell. I remember listening to the coverage on the radio through static and hearing coverage of the second tower falling, and everyone realizing that this wasn't anaccident. Everyone was terribly sad and very afraid. Many people went to donate blood that ended up not being needed because no one who was at Ground Zero lived.
