Notes to Self - I am having trouble finding a song that depicts a true and appropriate
story
- Perhaps by the time I teach this lesson, I will have found a more popular
and newer song to use for this lesson
Song lyrics:
By Bob Dylan
Assignment:
Many songs have stories in them. Frankie Lee and the Judas Priest is just one example. Your
assignment for today is to work in your writers circle groups and decide on the plot and meaning
of the song. Once you have done that, you and your group will write a conclusion to this story.
This conclusion should highlight the theme of this story and show reflection.
