Use Jessie J's popular song "Domino" to teach figurative language, sound devices, and other poetry terms. You can decide how many and which devices you'd like your students to find. It includes two activities for differentiation and is aligned to the Common Core Standards for grades 9-12.
*PLEASE CHECK THE LYRICS BEFORE PURCHASE* The lyrics (both the content and language used) may not be appropriate for your students/school. Though I have used it successfully with my high schoolers, not every class is mature enough to handle them.
Those I've pointed out in this exercise include:
alliteration, anaphora, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, rhyme, allusion, and assonance.
A list of definitions for each term plus detailed directions, teacher's guide, and answer key are ALL included. A link to the song and the lyrics for an online experience is included, as well.
Included in the zipped folder is a student handout and a separate teacher's guide. The PDF files can be projected to save paper.

Great resource!

Shame on me. Unfortunately I did not check lyrics before purchase. I can use some of the other material. I can not use the song, but there are some other things I may be able to use. The idea is great. Perhaps I can find the time to apply it to other music. I know current music will grab kids. However, they can't use it AT our school, and neither would I.

I'm sorry you can't use this for your class. You can submit a ticket for a refund using the "contact us" link at that bottom. Your students may like the One Direction bundle I have that features two of their songs. -Tracee

My students loved this lesson. However, one of the parents did not. They were so angry with the lyrics they went straight to the principal. This was for a creative writing class with mostly juniors and seniors so I didn't think the lyrics would be a problem but apparently they were. They complained about the one swear word but mostly said that the song was too sexual.

I'm so sorry you had this experience, Brittysmith89. :( Do you read any Shakespeare in class? I can't imagine that they would be OK with Romeo and Juliet and not this song, but I guess you never know what people will find offensive. I'm glad your students loved it but wish you had a more positive experience. Let me know if you need anything. -Tracee

I like this lesson idea, but would have to white out the one swear word repeated throughout the chorus... I know my 7th graders see/hear worse on TV and in the music they choose to listen to, but I would want to take it out for my own peace of mind. I know there was a warning on the description, so I am not complaining, just sharing. Thanks for your creativity!

I am unable to use this, the lyrics are very inappropriate to used in a classroom. I was very disappointed when I purchased this and read the lyrics. I would have irate parents calling me.

I'm sorry you are not happy, though I did have a warning in the product description about the lyrics being for older students. You can request a refund by clicking on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page.

Tracee, You're so creative! I just love you're stuff. I always check what you've done before trying to create my own! You usually already have something here that is exactly or better than what I was trying to come up with! You rock! You're keeping my summer school students entertained while they're learning and giving me a little extra time to myself. I don't know where you find the time to come up with all of your lessons/activities!! Thank you!!! :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
