Entry Number: 997 Title: Honor the Soldiers

Category: digitized audio Grade Level: 6-8

Description: I was inspired to read this poem, because it had sentimental value to me. I think that this is a great way to give thanks to the soldiers serving our country at war. It gives a voice to the ones at home trying to give thanks but don’t exactly know how. I think this poem really sends a positive message of hope. I recorded my voice on Audacity. Then I found a background song to go with it. When I went to Audacity to put my poem all together. I had to edit and change the song so that it would flow with my voice. I hope you enjoy my poem.

I think this great. It is so awesome that you want are wanting to our soldiers. The music choice of this piece is excellent as well. It compliments the poem well. I would have liked to seen the music fade out at the end rather than end so abruptly.

Good choice of background music and subject matter. The reading of the poem would have been better if you had slowed down some. You sound very rushed. 3 minutes would have given you enough time

This is such a powerful, emotional subject. Thank you for sharing this poem. You did a good job putting the music with the words. Make sure you have a good strong track of your voice before putting it together with the music. Good work!
