Biographical

“‘Hey Jude,’ like ‘She Loves You,’ is the story of a friend offering advice, but the world as well as the music had grown more complex. Paul McCartney has said he wrote it to cheer up Julian Lennon, John's five-year-old son, when Lennon was divorcing his first wife. The narrator realizes that things may not be good now, but with a little work he can find his true love ‘and make it better’” (Dillion).

Historical

Homework: Work on presentation

Presentation FAQsQ: What should I be presenting?A: You should be presenting the song you are analyzing and how understanding the historical/biographical context it was written in can help enhance our understanding of it. You should not be analyzing the song through any other lens of than historical/biographical. Q: How long should my presentation be?A: No longer than 8-10 minutes. We need to get through all twenty-something of you in the next two classes. That being said it should be at least 5 minutes. If you plan on playing the song/music video account that into your timing, however, your presentation should be the bulk of your presentation. Meaning, do not play the music video that’s seven minutes long, and then give a 30 second speech. Q: Do I need a PowerPoint?A: I don’t care. Do whatever works for you. However, understand that if you do make a PowerPoint, the words on it should be kept to a minimum. If your speech is the PowerPoint, I will deduct ten points automatically. Use PowerPoints wisely. Q: What do you mean by reliable source?A: At this point in your academic career, and life, I hope you know that not everything on the internet is true. That being said you should stick to respectable media outlets and scholarly websites for this particular assignment. Time, The New Yorker, Rolling Stones, NPR, The Boston Globe, Academy of American Poets, the artist’s certified webpage, etc are all reliable and creditable. Songfacts. com, Wikianswers, shmoop.com, hotlyrics.com, imtoolazytodoresearch.com, are not reliable. Do not use them.Q: Do I need a works cited page?A: YES! Please include where you got your information from. Give credit where credit is due.Q: How much is this worth?A. This will be both a communication and a L2 assessment. 15 points for each category=30 points
