In this essay, students will compare and contrast two protest songs (any genre, any era, any country) and ultimately, they will determine which one is more successful based on criteria that they will set.

See details

Students need to find two to four credible sources that talk about the songs, their meaning, the history of the events the songs discuss, info on the band, etc. Then, they will create their own criteria to analyze both protest songs, and eventually, judge which is the more successful between the two. Analysis should focus on lyrics, isuals (if applicable), genre, time period, and impact.
