Song - Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam! Listening activity
A protest song with a punch! This is a great song and a great listening activity. The discussion around it - written within an hour after the news of the atrocities at the time - was Simone's first protest song. Controversial at the time, the lyrics describe the anger of the time and what went before. As a listening activity and a class discussion about such themes as prejudice, racism, discrimination, there are few songs that encapsulate the feeling of rage, frustration and disillusionment

Redundancy Introduction "Parked out by the Lake"
Why “this” activity?I recently noticed in my 7th & 8th graders summary writing, they struggle to recognize and eliminate redundant phrases.

Since I teach in SW Missouri, country music is an easy link to make for my kids.
