Description
"Over There" by George M. Cohan is a patriotic song that was used during WWI to inspire American men to join the war effort. Analyze the song to learn more about American sentiments during World War I!
For my classroom, I played the YouTube video linked in the download and had the students listen first while following along on the lyrics sheet. I played the song a second time so they could highlight/underline words they didn't know and lines they thought were important. Then they worked with a partner on the analysis column and at the end we shared as a class
I hope you find this resource useful! Check out Heaven in Grade Seven for more resources! :)
