My Personal Playlist

For your upcoming ELA assignment you will be tasked with creating 5 Musical Playlists.  You will need to create a playlist with a minimum of 5 songs for each of the following categories:

1) Pump Up & Engage
2) Get into the Zone & Concentrate
3) Chill & Relax
4) Music for when I'm feeling "Goofy or off the wall"
5) Songs that make me Think & Contemplate.

Remember you will need to write an explanation for one song in each playlist and explain why you chose it and how it fits in the particular playlist.

*Please ensure that you are selecting music that is school appropriate!

To help you with your own playlists I have included my own personal playlists below.  Who knows? Maybe we have some of the same songs on our Playlists!
