Look at the words of the song and challenge yourself to answer the questions. The Greatest Showman – A Million Dreams I close my eyes and I can see the world that's waiting up for me that I call my own Through the dark, through the door, through where no one's been before but it feels like home They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say I've lost my mind. I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy. We can live in a world that we design 'Cause every night I lie in bed, the brightest colours fill my head, a million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see, a million dreams is all it's gonna take. A million dreams for the world we're gonna make There's a house we can build , every room inside is filled with things from far away Special things I compile, each one there to make you smile on a rainy day However big, however small, let me be part of it all , share your dreams with me You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that you'll bring me along To the world you see, to the world I close my eyes to see I close my eyes to see Comprehension Challenge In the first verse, how do you know that this person is imagining? What do you think the ‘dark’ and the ‘door’ represent? Who do you think ‘they’ is referring to in the fifth line down? What do you think the ‘brightest colours’ might symbolise? Do you think they are really going to build a house? What else could this represent? What do you think the difference is between a ‘big’ and ‘small’ dream? Thinking Do you think it is a good idea to sometimes dream? Is it pointless to dream about things that are unrealistic? Is it possible to have a perfect world? Now try the extra challenge… Read the last two lines. Close your eyes and put yourself in the shoes of this character. What world do you think he is envisaging? Can you describe it? What sort of world did Jesus hope for? Can you explain your thinking by finding evidence in parables that you may know?.

Dear Reader, Life Is Full of Firsts. First Breath
Dear Reader, Life is full of firsts. First breath; first steps; first words; first day at school. But it’s the emotional firsts that hit you hardest. The first time you fall in love; hold your child in your arms; or say a final goodbye to a loved one. They’re the ones you can’t forget. A Million Dreams is quite a special first for me too in other ways. It’s not my first book – it’s actually my sixth. But it will be the first of my books that will be published in hardback. And to bring it to you I’ve reunited with my first publishers and editor, which makes it feel as if fate has been playing a part in the proceedings. This book is another first for me, because usually during the writing I will develop a fondness for one particular character. But that wasn’t the case with A Million Dreams. I wanted them all to get exactly what they wanted. But, if you’ve read any of my books before, you probably know that good things don’t always happen to my characters. Please don’t think that A Million Dreams is a book full of sadness, because to me it is actually quite the opposite; it’s full of hope and love. But sad things do happen to two amazing women and the story of how they, and the people around them, deal with that had its hooks in me from the very beginning. I hope you get to love Beth and Izzy every bit as much as I did.

"The Greatest Showman on Earth"
"THE GREATEST SHOWMAN ON EARTH" Written by Jenny Bicks Revisions by Jordan Roberts Bill Condon Jonathan Tropper Current Revisions by: M.A. April 20th, 2015 Draft The Greatest Showman On Earth 4/20/15 Draft 1. 1-3 OMITTED 1-3 A strummed BANJO begins... A BASS DRUM joins, beating time. 4 INT. CIRCUS TENT - NIGHT 4 Absolute darkness. Then, a single narrow spotlight goes on, revealing a RINGMASTER, with top hat, his back to us, alone. With his head bowed, the top hat casts his face in shadow. As the MUSIC picks up, he sings in a hushed, dramatic voice: RINGMASTER [BARNUM SINGS] [BARNUM SINGS] QUICK CUTS -- CLOSE UPS of the RINGMASTER, seen from behind, in fast-passing shots. The iconic top hat; the cane; red swallowtail coat; shiny black boots; sawdust... RINGMASTER (CONT’D) [BARNUM SINGS] [BARNUM SINGS] The Ringmaster (from behind) looks upward. Another spotlight goes on. Way up high in the darkness, a beautiful African- American aerialist, ANNE WHEELER, is spinning on a rope. RINGMASTER (CONT’D) [BARNUM SINGS] [BARNUM SINGS] The Ringmaster looks the other way -- a new spotlight hits a beautiful TIGHTROPE WALKER, way up high, seemingly walking on air through the vast darkness. RINGMASTER (CONT’D) [BARNUM SINGS] A cannon FIRES -- sending a HUMAN CANNONBALL flying through the darkness, spotlight following, til he lands in a netting. RINGMASTER (CONT’D) [BARNUM SINGS] The Ringmaster turns, into the light. It is P.T. BARNUM. Handsome. Confident. Exuberant. At the height of his powers. A showman’s smile; a scoundrel’s wink. BARNUM [BARNUM SINGS] [BARNUM SINGS] * (CONTINUED) The Greatest Showman On Earth 4/20/15 Draft 2.

June 2017-2018 Curriculum Report, Music
2017-18 Music Curriculum Report June 2018 Entry Diego Maugeri The music program here at Miquon strives to achieve two main goals at the very minimum: to provide students with music literacy and to give them what they need to express themselves through music. The requirements of music literacy that I embrace have been well represented by the National Standards for Music Education, as devised by the National Association for Music Education, and envision a music program in which all students are exposed to: 1. Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music. 2. Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music. 3. Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments. 4. Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines. 5. Reading and notating music. 6. Listening to, analyzing, and describing music. 7. Evaluating music and music performances. 8. Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts. 9. Understanding music in relation to history and culture. Developmentally-appropriate activities for each age group guarantee that all students receive the fullest musical experience possible. Students will work their way up through their musical skills in a spiral curriculum where all of the nine standards will be met over and over at different levels of depth. In addition to the mere technical aspects of music making, my personal emphasis will always be on music as a team effort, a group experience. The message I want to convey to my students is that ensemble music is the larger outcome of a myriad of smaller components in which everybody participates and to which everyone is responsible.

The Greatest Showman: a Parable About Parables by Mya Buschman University of Scranton
1 The Greatest Showman: A Parable about Parables By Mya Buschman University of Scranton Enter through the red and white stripped tent to find the most lively, colorful, and exuberant performance that will amaze the eyes. With high-flying trapeze artists soaring high above the heads, to a bearded woman singing most divinely, to the shortest man dressed as a great general riding around on an elephant, and lastly, to the ringmaster, himself, in his bright red suit and top hat, incredibly dancing and taking charge of what an attendee may call a circus are the spectacles within the musical movie, The Greatest Showman (2017), directed by Michael Gracey. While this movie portrays the embracement of odd, yet intriguing individuals to society, The Greatest Showman simultaneously tells the origin story of this “celebration of humanity” (Gracey, 2017) set in New York during the mid-1800s by following the life of Phineas Taylor Barnum, otherwise known as circus showman, P.T. Barnum. The life of P.T. Barnum as depicted in the movie could be termed as a stereotypical rags- to-riches story where fluffy song and dance sustain the audience. Yet, the life of this immense dreamer and his transformation in the movie could also be described through a biblical lens, more specifically through three parables found within the Gospels. By dissecting Barnum’s life into three main parts, (1) his early life and creation of the circus, (2) his lust for wealth, fame, and exhilarating applause, and (3) his ultimate return home to his family can all be represented by the biblical parables of the Mustard Seed, the Rich Man, and the Prodigal Son, respectively.
