Write and Discuss: Why do you listen to music? How does music make you feel? Does music serve a different role in your life depending on your mood, who you are with or what you are doing? Does music ever cause you to think differently, to feel a part of something larger or to want to rise up and take action?

Then, respond to this quotation by Pete Seeger, a champion of folk music, who died in 2014:
One of the purposes of music is to help you forget your troubles; another, help you learn from your troubles (some do), and, some will help you do something about your troubles.
Do you agree? Why?

Listen and Annotate: Next, listen to We Shall Overcome a protest song from the 20th century, while reading along with the printed lyrics. As you listen, annotate by underlining, highlighting or writing in the margins — reacting or responding to anything in the lyrics or in the music itself.

Discuss:
  • What did you notice in the song as you listened? How did it make you feel?
  • What did you hear that makes you say that?
  • What more can you find?
