Pop songs are great inspiration for drama, poetry and stories. You can guess my age when I say “Disco 2000” and “Common People” by Pulp are wonderful songs. Very atmospheric and you can just imagine the scenarios that inspired the lyrics.
Listen to a CD… perhaps one brought in by students and delve behind the lyrics. Lots to discuss! a good Speaking & Listening assignment too.
Use the situations conjured up to create the setting, the mood, the dialogue and write a story, poem or play.
