Rhythm & Rhyme
Materials Fee: $0
Supplies Needed: Pen and Notebook
Dive into the vibrant world of music and poetry in our new class, Rhythm & Rhyme! Here, we peel back the layers of the songs you blast through your headphones, revealing the hidden poetic mastery. Imagine a class where your favorite playlists become the textbook, and the hits dominating the charts are dissected to unveil the art of language.
Through engaging activities and spirited discussions, we'll explore:
- Simile & Metaphor: Uncover the hidden meanings behind the most powerful lyrics.
- Alliteration & Assonance: Discover the secret to catchy hooks that stick.
- Tone & Imagery: Learn how artists paint pictures and evoke emotions with words.
- Figurative Speech & Hyperbole: See how exaggeration brings lyrics to life.
- Meter, Stanza, Verse: Unlock the structure that gives songs their flow.
- ...And much more!
Rhythm & Rhyme is not your average English class. It's a musical journey through the lyrics and beats of contemporary hits, chosen by none other than you—the students. Every week, we'll immerse ourselves in a new song, breaking it down, and exploring its depths as if it were a classic poem. These tracks will not only fill our Spotify playlist but also our classroom discussions, sparking debates and insights that resonate with the rhythm of our lives.
