Music and Poetry

(2/6) Our 8th grade ELA classes completed a unit focused on integrating poetry and music. To begin the week, students were asked to select 3 songs that they felt described their life and write about each song. The next day, students practiced analyzing "poetry" with one of the songs that they chose. For the rest of the week, students will focus on analyzing and deciphering song lyrics and their true meaning. Poetry always has a way of making students a little nervous, but by showing them that songs are just poetry set to music, we were able to build their confidence in reading and analyzing poetry.
