Students listened to Disney's "The Main Street Electrical Parade." The following pieces are inspired from that listening session...
Right and left the spaceship swerved.
The controls were just like an '80s video game.
The astronauts were dressed in colorful space suits and floated through the sky like lost balloons.
One by one, they collected the garbage lost in space.
Each astronaut then squished back into the spaceship like a band of clowns in a clown car.
Then they moved on to the next area, speedy and quickly, being careful not to hit any asteroids.
If you join them, you better wave to their alien friends, or they’ll dress you as a clown. - Charlotte C.
I run through the maze, trying to find my friend. I pushed past the clowns and the ruckus of people in my way. My ice cream almost falls, and in the process of catching it, I got distracted by the lights and noises. It looked like a kaleidoscope of brightness and color. I stood in awe to the acrobats doing flips. Clowns came out of the rainbow tent and started dancing. One stared at me and smiled. Bugs started crawling out of his mouth. The noises of the people started to die out, only leaving the music. Slowly, a laughing noise faded into my left ear. I turned my head in fear. A big clown was laughing at me. It slowly got louder and louder until I couldn’t bear the noise. I shrunk in fear to the ground and got pulled to the side. Everything went dark and silent. - Sydney B.
I finish the level of Mario Cart...1st place! Although I am now in last, the colors of the coins and graphics all float by. My race car zooms and passes one, two, now three. I’m now on the carnival level- the buzzing sound of circus clowns. I'm now in 2nd place; I can feel the finish line...so close! Then ninja stars are thrown from the player behind me, and I’m now back in last. I’m running out of time. I can’t look back. The timer's running out. I have twenty seconds left, three, two, one. Yes! I finished in 1st place again! - Abby N.
I am running through the crowd trying to find Jeffery. He was standing next to me just a second ago. We were eating popcorn; then he started to run. I had no idea where he was going, but I followed. Then I noticed he saw a clown running at us. After a moment, I realized it was my friend in clown makeup. Then we all stopped and laughed. - Jake B.
Happy
Yet I feel calm
Place of clowns
Energetic
Distracted
