Creating Relevance with Letters to a Young Poet
Students love to use music in lessons, which is why this lesson was an amazing way to introduce "Letters to a Young Poet." Students started by listening to the song, "Let Nas Down" and then annotated the text excerpt from the song during their bellringer. Together, they determined the central idea of the song. This activity flowed right into the premise of "Letters to a Young Poet" because students were eager to find and analyze the pieces of advice one artist offered to another.
