American Poets with a Singular Sound!

Looking at Literature with a Beat includes 10 poems from 10 American authors and eras, with accompanying songs that either directly refer to the poem or convey a theme that is similar to the poem.

Each unit features:

  • short biographies of the poet and the songwriter;
  • background and summary for both the poem and the lyrics to provide context for students;
  • poem and song lyrics with close-reading exercises presented in two columns. The left-hand column features the reprinted poem and song; the right-hand “Notes” column includes questions for students to answer as they work through the poem and song lyrics to uncover deeper meaning and reveal the literary techniques used in the work;
  • web links that allow students to see and hear the poem and song performed;
  • sections that require an action: discussion, writing prompts, research, and enrichment activities that reinforce learning.

Selections:

  • Edgar Allan Poe, "Annabel Lee," and Tiger Army, "Annabel Lee"
  • Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself," and Blackmore’s Night, "Sake of the Song"
  • Edwin Arlington Robinson, "Richard Cory," and Simon and Garfunkel, "Richard Cory"
  • Emily Dickinson, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," and Terry Jacks, "Seasons in the Sun"
  • Paul Laurence Dunbar, "Sympathy," and Alicia Keys, "Caged Bird"
  • Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken," and George Harrison, "Any Road"
  • Langston Hughes, "Mother to Son," and Tupac Shakur, "Dear Mama"
  • Countee Cullen, "Saturday’s Child," and Harry Chapin, "Cat’s in the Cradle"
  • Elizabeth Bishop, "The Fish," and Third Day, "The Victory"
  • Nikki Giovanni, "Choices," and Taylor Swift, "Change"

I am so glad I purchased this book. I teach an Edgar Allan Poe unit each year and my students analyze the poem, "Annabel Lee". I've used the punk song, "Annabel Lee" by Tiger Army in the past but I never had resources created for students to use while analyzing the lyrics. This book did it all for me. Can't wait to use it this upcoming school year.
