LOGO-L> Semi-Random Songs

[Yehuda Katz <yehuka@beitberl.beitberl.ac.il>]

Hello All,

Olga, Brian, Ray and maybe also others, were talking about composing
random sentences.

An activity I've done several times with my students was to take any
well-known song, and replace in it RANDOMLY certain words, keeping the
general pattern of the song intact.
The activity was a fun for my (20+ years old) students. Here's an
example:

======================================================
to main ; Semi-Random Song
pr(se[Humpty Dumpty] past [on the] noun)
pr(se[Humpty Dumpty had a] adjective noun)
pr(se[All the King's]plural[and all the King's]plural)
pr(se[Could not] present [Humpty Dumpty back again])
pr "
ifelse rc=char 27[stop][main]            ; Esc to quit
end

to past
op pick[sat went ran dreamed jumped played enjoyed]
end

to noun
op pick[wall floor carpet horse saddle test balcony]
end

to adjective
op pick[big small slow fast bad good sudden rare]
end

to plural
op pick[horses men servants donkeys friends soldiers]
end

to present
op pick[fix put forget disregard rebuild dismantle]
end
======================================================

Enjoy,

[[Yehuda]]
