POETRY LYRIC ANALYSIS

Want to motivate your students to learn poetry elements? This is a generic list of questions to use with any of your favorite lyrics.

I like to teach one song a month and my students beg for me to do more! I download the song for them to listen to as well! At the end of the year, they get to bring in their own lyrics to analyze with their peers. We jam out!
