Today’s Goal: Continue to review poetic devices as you analyze song lyrics. Outcomes: Explain what the lyrics mean in each song. Identify poetic devices used throughout the lyrics. Evaluate each song as a poetic expression.

Starter #1: Today we will continue to listen to some songs that have a “timeless quality.” Some of these songs were popular on the radio many years ago, and they are still popular today. People never tire of hearing them. The lyrics connect with listeners, while the music reinforces the message and plays to our soul. You may hear some songs that sound like a “hybrid”—both lyrical and narrative at the same time. Note which songs seem like both types.   As we play each song, we’ll see the lyrics on the screen. See if you can . . . * Explain what the song writer is expressing. * Identify poetic devices and describe how that adds meaning. * Evaluate your own thoughts and feelings about these songs.

Starter #2: Please turn to the sheet you used yesterday in class. 1. Title 1) What the song is expressing 2) What poetic devices you could identify 3) Evaluate—give your opinion: How did you feel about that song? ********************************************************** Songs we wiil use are: 1) Bridge over Troubled Water, performed by Simon & Garfunkel 2) Kentucky Rose, performed by Michael W.
