Can you spot the parallel structure in these songs?

What are we doing this lesson?

Learning Intentions:

We will learn how to recognize parallelism when you are reading, and you will learn how to incorporate the structure into your own compositions. We are learning this because Parallelism helps make an idea or argument clear and easy to remember. It also shows that each repeated structure is of equal importance. And, it is a powerful tool for public speaking. Throughout history, many famous leaders have used parallel structure to communicate with the public

Success Criteria:

We can define parallelism, spot examples of parallelism, and correct examples of faulty parallelism.

In short, you will learn another tool to help you improve your written communication!
