Suggested Poems and Illustrations
All of William Blake's poems and illustrations are easily adaptable to this unit. It is helpful to use contemporary examples of poetry/song lyrics to reiterate the concepts of innocence and experience. I will incorporate "Forever Young" by Jay-Z, which works well in comparison with "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan. I will also use "Big-Eyed Fish" by Dave Matthews Band, and "Tell Me Baby" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Encouraging students to find their own examples to bring to class for discussion will help reinforce the concepts studied in class.
