Wed. Feb. 6th:
* P.E.E. formula and music challenge
* What was Henrix talking about? What does his metaphor mean?

This is one of Hendrix' most autobiographical and personal songs. He hated talking about his past, and avoided it during press conferences and interviews.
Hendrix played all of the lead guitar parts backwards, then rewound the recording of the lead guitar parts to the song to get that effect you hear in the beginning and in the middle of the song.

Thurs. Feb. 7th:
* Vocab checked
* Finish and hand in portfolio
* Short Story notes: Create a quiz to stop your friends in their tracks. Help each other with these foundations.

Have a spectacular long weekend! See you all Tuesday.
