ACT
Students think that classic literature and historic events have little in common with life today, right? Think again! In this lesson, students get a chance to compare themes from classic novels or from American history to those found in music and life today. John Mellencamp's song "Pink Houses" focuses on conflicts such as racism, poverty and shattered American dreams; for this assignment, students will re-write the song's lyrics, incorporating conflicts from literature or history.
