As I sat at school today, trying to figure out even more ways to incorporate U2 into my PowerPoint presentation, I thought back on some of the ways I brought U2 into my assignments.
1. My freshman year of high school, we had to do a pantomime instead of a speech in our English class. We had to act out something for at least 3 minutes and not speaking the entire time. I reenacted Bono's performance of "Mysterious Ways" from the Zoo TV Sydney video. I dressed up as The Fly, and I utilized the classroom as my stage by jumping on desks and such.
2. In that same English class, we were required to write our own obituary (how morbid is that?). I also included how I died: Bono was trying to pull me up on stage, but he lost his grip on my hand, and I fell and cracked my head open (don't worry...it wasn't open casket...
).
3. For my Greek mythology paper, I did mine on Hercules. For the presentation, my friends and I created a video where I recreated his labors to be more modern. I used U2 music in the background for some of the labors, when I could tie it in.
4. We had to do a fake newspaper article, including a picture. I wrote "Beautiful Blond Bombshell to Wed Buff Babe Bono" (okay, "beautiful" may have been a stretch...
). With the article, I drew a picture of me wearing my 4 million dollar engagement ring.
5. We had to write lyrics for a blues song. Being blue that Bono was married, and I would never have a chance with him even if he WAS single, I wrote "The Bono Blues". Bonus points if we sang it for the class, so I did...
Well, enough about mine...how about the rest of you???

"But you take what you can get,
Cuz it's all that you can find,
But you know there's something more,
Tonight, tonight, tonight..."
