Have you seen those videos on Tiktok where teachers show their students a song they used to listen to in high school, and the students write down their reaction? Now you have a standards-based lesson where you get to share the same joy with your students!
 
Review tone and mood with students while analyzing some of the most iconic love songs and heartbreak anthems! Students will review tone and mood, match new tone and mood vocabulary, and then dive into the examples! After watching, and  identifying the tone and mood of the lyrics/scene, students will compare a love song from the 1900s to a love song from the 2000s. Students even have the opportunity to create their own analysis with a song of their choice to demonstrate their understanding! 
 
14 Iconic love songs including:
-The Way You Look Tonight
-Fly Me to The Moon
-My Heart Will Go On
-Chasing Cars
-Just The Way You Are
