Speech or song lyrics

We start off today by listening to a song performed by the students from the music programme as a presentation related to their area of study.

Then we continue to either look at a song text (lyrics) or a famous speech to analyse it and discuss it.

I would like you to work in small groups on this task (maximum 4 students)

For those who choose a speech I recommend this site on the internet.

Examples of a famous speech might be 
1) Winston Churchill's wartime speeches
2) Martin Luther King's "I have a dream"
3)Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement speech

Another site which can help you is the following 

If you choose a song lyric then it should be one which is famous for its content and not only the music:

Some examples might be:
Beatles                Eleanor Rigby, Let it be
Bob Marley         Redemption Song, No woman no cry
Don Mclean         American Pie, Vincent
Leonard Cohen   Hallelujah, Suzanne
Eagles                  Hotel California
 Bob Dylan           Times they are a changing
Here is a site you may find useful for your analysis
