Just Like Brian Wilson Did: Using Allusion to Teach Imagery & Theme
Beginning ENG I students are introduced to the general concepts of imagery (including symbolism) and theme in short literature in a lesson that features two contemporary pop songs and their lyrics. Serves as a useful attention getting exercise for low-level ENG I students who must become familar with general literary concepts and terms for the ENG I EOC.
Format: lesson plan (grade 9 English Language Arts)
