THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND!
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND words and music by Woody Guthrie
Chorus:This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

I AM A MILLENNIAL!
I am:
§ a lot smarter than if we use IQ as the measure of intelligence
§ more technologically sophisticated
§ more optimistic about the future
§ more diverse and globally oriented
§ more comfortable with collaborative work
§ closer with my parents
§ special and protected
§ crave conformity and safety
§ feel more pressure for achievement
§ creative and innovative
§ crave cognitive complexity in order to be engaged
§ have low tolerance for linearity
§ can be disengaged in public spaces
§ value choice and customization
§ popular culture is cognitively challenging in its form, requiring them to probe, telescope, track multiple threads, fill in gaps, navigate complex social networks, and constantly adapt to rapidly changing technology
