Coded Slave Songs - Poetry and Song Lyrics Analysis
A fascinating lesson plan integrating poetry, music, and history! Students listen to a coded slave song, analyzing key words, feelings, images and symbols, structure, and the main idea.

Students love the fact that it is "coded," just like a mystery! And the music gets them moving and grooving! Appropriate for fourth through twelfth grade
