From a list of 35 songs (on the handout) they will choose 2 lyrics from ~10 of the songs and then write their "own" song around those lyrics. This takes the pressure off of the daunting task of just writing a 100% original song, and it also challenges the students to make meanings and connections amo

They absorb the actual tenets of the intangible (couple centuries ago) philosophical movement much better than when they are getting it in a "lecture only," less engaging format. Very d
