The Task
What’s in a song?
Is there more than a beat?
Do songs have meanings that cross the boundaries of nations and languages?
The lyrics of songs tell us a lot about the people and the culture that created them, but also about those who listen to them and sing along;
You are to prepare an oral presentation for your classmates that deciphers the meaning hidden behind the words of a song, attempts to infer the purpose of the author, and compares it with a couple of songs in your culture that deal with the same subject (with at least 3 similarities and 3 differences). Your presentation will be supported with an 8 slide power point, and optional audio of the songs for emphasis.
