Teachers will choose a few stanzas to demonstrate annotating poetry elements.

After teacher demonstrate, students will get into small groups an annotate the rest of the poem/song.

While students are in their groups discussing, teachers will play the song in the background for students who are not familiar with the song.

We will discuss as a class the different poetry elements that they found in the poem/song as well as the meaning of the song.

Teachers will then introduce the individual song analysis assignment.
