Songs which work with novels and poetry



From this website I have found a list of poems and novels in which they suggest songs that would go alongside the study. Which I will use in my research for my SIG.

William Golding, Lord of the Flies is paired with "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by REM

Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird with the song “Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday

Mary Shelley Frankenstein" with Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day similarly I used this song for personification in poetry which the kids enjoyed.

Key Quotes

In schools, the fear of ‘not getting it right’ can inhibit the imagination (Greig 2005:5)

Imagination is superior to the intellect as it enables the thinker to form new thoughts and discover new truths and build new worlds. (Craft 2002:80)

Imagination is not the same as creativity, creativity takes the process of imagination to another level (Robinson 2009: 67)

Creativity involves several different processes that wind through each other. The first is generating new ideas, imagining new possibilities, considering alternative options. (Robinson 2009:72)
