The Summer Set has always written songs that I can either relate to, or they contain catchy rhythms and lyrics that are impossible to get out of your head. For my 20% time, I am analyzing the lyrics of each song for different literary devices. After I finish that, I'm going to write my review of the entire album. Knowing that The Summer Set is my favorite band, this is going to be a breeze.
I used the writing standard 11.R.3.1: Students can analyze and explain literary devices within text.
Overall, I wanted to be a little farther than I am now. I ran into multiple difficulties because all of the websites that I came across were blocked. In order to get the lyrics, I used my home computer and emailed it to myself. It's taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I'm going to continue to this project because I'm not even close to being done.
Great project! Any way you can link to snippets of these songs, so we can hear? Also, have you worked with the lit devices yet on these songs? Just making sure I didn't miss anything...
