Tone/Mood Activity
Song Lyrics are a form of poetry (lyrical poetry) and the Tone of these poems can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the reader/artist who wants to perform them.

Directions:
1). Choose five different titles (2 artists/title) to listen to. This means you will be listening to each song twice.
2). Appropriately fill out the grid for each one of the songs.
3). There are seven song options, so you can pick and choose which ones interest you the most.
