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.
4). Think about the contrasting mood each reader/artist gave to the song. Same words, but different interpretations and decide for yourself which tone/mood seems to fit better with these lyrics/poetry.
