Next, everyone worked with a partner to brainstorm common tones and choices in diction found in country music. Then, each person received lyrics to a country song which they were to annotate for tone and diction (taking note of the denotation and connotation of significant words) and ultimately write a paragraph describing just how country their song was. At the end of class, we discussed significant words that people noticed.
