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 colors 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
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors 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
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
Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams
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
For the world we're gonna make SOUTHERNSIDE MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Mechanics of Mini Task 1:

• Your How-to Informative Essay must have 3 paragraphs: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.

• Minimum of 5 sentences for each of the paragraphs.

• 3 Parts of a How-to Informative Essay:

 The introduction needs to present the topic and grab the attention of the audience. It needs to
include the focus sentence for the entire essay.
Example:
“How to Make Friends”
“It is not easy to make friends. Real friends are rare in this world. Man is a social animal
and instinctively seeks companions. We come across countless people but with everybody we
do not make friends. The essential condition of friendship between two persons is affinity of mind,
tastes, temperaments or pursuits.”

 The middle or the body paragraph will be the main bulk of the essay and it will contain all the
important facts that you are covering. This is where the audience will get their questions
answered. Remember to answer these questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how.
Example:
“We can make friends if we love people, if we are good and sincere to them and if we
share their joys and sorrows. We are to make friends if we do to others as we would be done by.
Friendship is a matter of give and take. We can make friends if we are ready with our sympathy
for others in their times of trouble. Adversity is the touchstone of friendship. Two friends are like
one soul living in two bodies.”

 The end is a conclusion paragraph where you will summarize the essay. It should spur the reader
or listener to learn more about the topic.
Example:
“A true friend is an unmixed blessing. He sweetens our life, heightens our joys and lightens
our sorrow. Even death cannot separate such a friend from us. Friendship is like the sweet scent
of the flowers of different colours and odours in a beautifully decorated vase. It is a divine spark
motivating our noble actions. It is a sweet song of a cuckoo, filling our hearts with joy and
happiness. It is like a lighted match in a dark room.”

• Your essay must be WRITTEN IN A YELLOW PAPER. STRICTLY NO PRINTED OUTPUT.

• Remember that the first sentence of each paragraph is indented.

• You will pass your Mini task 1 on July 11, 2018 (Wednesday).
