Standard 2: Continued Commencement Sample Classroom Tasks: English Proficiency Level Beginning Students bring in a tape or CD of a popular song they enjoy. Class listens and decides which song is most enjoyable. The teacher obtains the lyrics to this song, reviews the lyrics with students, and helps students to identify the song’s literary elements and techniques, rhyme scheme, and meter. In pairs, students then study their choice of song, writing the lyrics and listing its literary elements. Class compares songs and results of study.
