A great way to introduce middle school to the analysis of poems is through songs! I love doing song lyric analysis with my students, and they enjoy getting the opportunity to listen to music in class especially when they get the opportunity to share the music they love with their teachers! I use this as my first unit of the year, but it is a great unit quick unit for any time in the year to solidify the skills for analyzing themes and figurative language!
