Analyze the impact of the author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (e.g., where a story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters are introduced and developed)

Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.2.A

Lesson Objective:  What do you want students to know and be able to do at the end of this learning segment? 

Rationale

After the AP test,  students will have more freedom to explore literary text. I would give this lesson at the very end of the year. Prior to entering this unit, students would have knowledge of literary elements present in songs, poetry, and literature. In this lesson plan, students will look at music from other countries and see how they are able to develop a theme through their rhetorical choices.
