For Wednesday's Class

Make sure you write the 2 paragraphs about either a) your car (which was our topic for the first class) or b) a club that you've been to (which was the topic from the second class)
Be prepared to discuss/be quizzed about the worksheet ("Writing about Music") about how to write a music review.
Bring your review about the music reviews
What does the phrase, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture", mean?
