Freshmen in Mrs. Wright’s English classes have been working on deconstructing songs and they are presenting their findings this week. They began with only the written lyrics of a song. From there, they studied the song line by line focusing on figurative language, and then made a guess as to the meaning of the song, its genre, and its tone. After researching, they discovered if their original guesses were correct.
