“THE BEAN TREES”CHAPTER 2

TEXT IMPRESSIONS

LET’S TALK ABOUT MUSIC

We can recall various elements of a song just from hearing a few lyrics. Sometimes we need to hear a couple of lines before we recognize

elements of the song, while other times it only takes a few words. You can assess:

The song’s name

The musical artist

The meaning

LET’S TEST YOUR MUSIC KNOWLEDGE

• I’ll call on people to interpret the message and/or theme of those provided words.

• And just for fun, we’ll take some guesses on what the song is afterwards.
