What do Beethoven, Bob Dylan, and Pharrell all have in common? Works by these three musicians are used to launch a study of poetry. Class members listen to passages from the music and craft a quick write about how the music makes them feel. Scholars then identify poetic devices in the songs and the devices in one of their favorite songs. To conclude the lesson, participants craft their poems following the format of their favorite song.
