Find a song that tells a story. Use our discussion on the five elements of a story to help you know if your song is a good one. If you can't identify the characters or a conflict in your song, it's probably not a good choice for this assignment.
Post the following to your class blog:
Song title, song artist, link to the song lyrics, and a brief description of each of the five elements (plot, character, conflict, theme, setting).
Due Sunday, March 21
*A note on profanity: I don't mind it personally, but these blogs are public and will be read by other students in the class. So if you're going to use a song with profanity, identify it with an asterisk (*). Also, try to avoid profanity in your assignments. You might get docked for it.
Homework:
Read opening of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Read opening of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet
