The wrong questions:
“What does this song mean? What is the poet trying to say?
What is the hidden meaning behind the song?”
“A poem should not mean
But be.”
--Archibald McLeish, Ars Poetica
Questions that will be asked during the presentation:
How did this song make you feel?
What idea is the writer concerned about?
Does the song make you aware of something you did not know before? What is it?
Are there any surprises in the poem? Like what?
What is/are the most important word(s) in the song? Why?
What are some things that are puzzling to you about this poem? Did you solve any of the puzzles? Which ones and how?
How do you feel this song connects with your generation? If you picked an older song, how do you connect with this song?
