Song Analysis Handout - Example Song Included "Lift Every Voice and Sing"
Use this song analysis handout with students to critically think about a song and its lyrics, while reinforcing the elements of close reading and literature. The song anaylsis worksheet is blank and can be used with any song, but the song "Life Every Voice and Sing" (AKA The Black National Anthem) is included. I've used this handout in English and Social Studies classes grades 7-12, but it could probably be used with lower grades also.
