Poetry: Compare & Contrast "Change" & "The Peace Of Wild Things", Sub Plan

Compare and Contrast Poetry and Song Lyrics

Change and The Peace Of Wild Things

Compare and contrast poetry and song lyrics! Teach students to compare and contrast for state test assessment as they compare poetry and song lyrics. Christina Aguilera’s Change and The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry take a different perspective on life. Both are written with voice and passion.

Students will compare and contrast content, language, tone, structure and theme to prepare them for the short answer response questions on end-of-the-semester tests. Students will also take an 8 question short answer response quiz comparing and contrasting the two artists.

Slides take students through instructions and a detailed example of comparing and contrasting. All compare/contrast documents are included in the powerpoint. The exit pass is in slide format and included as a printable page in Word docx or PDF format.
