Using Lyrics to Develop Students’ Critical Literacy
Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to talk about song lyrics as texts to develop students’ critical literacy. Lyrics and music of popular songs can represent alternative perspectives to the dominant ideologies of a particular time or place. As such, they can be used effectively in classrooms to provide the voices rarely heard in textbooks. Critical literacy, one application of critical theory, involves "reading the world": understanding how we encode (把……译成密码) power structures and our role in these processes.
From a reading methods perspective, the use of these song lyrics was a "pre-reading strategy". It served to activate (激活) or build on students’ prior knowledge of the content to be learned.
I have organized my examples into four topics: the environment, the United States’ history, economics, racism and racial issues.
Firstly, the environment. There are multiple perspectives involved in debates over environmental issues. Tracy Chapman’s song "The Rape of the World" confronts us with our abuse of our environment. The use of the word rape, described in the song as the most heinous (令人发指的) crime, is powerful. Marvin Gaye’s "Mercy, Mercy Me" could be included as another text in discussion about the environment. Exploration of these songs—the issues they address and the tone each takes—could promote critical conversations about the environment.
The second topic is the US history. History is usually taught to students through textbooks.
Many popular songs tell stories rarely included in textbooks. "Buffalo Soldier", written by
Bob Marley, tells about the black soldiers of the 19th century, who were named "buffalo soldiers" by the Indians against whom they fought after the Civil War. Marley’s lyrics intersect (交叉) these freed slaves’ histories with their patriotism (爱国主义). Woody Guthrie described other injustices as well. "Ludlow Massacre" vividly illustrates the 1914 massacre (大屠杀) of poor miners in Colorado by the militia (民兵入伍) hired by the mining company they worked for. Thirdly, economics. Several songs describe how the underclass (下层阶级) is often treated.
Tracy Chapman describes the homeless in "Subcity". She tells us how the poor see the relationships between the government, the big business, and their unrewarded efforts. "Trouble in the Fields" also describes the difficulties faced by the family farmer. Written by Nanci Griffith at the end of the 1980s, the song compares farmers during the Dust Bowl times with their more contemporary counterparts.
Finally, we will mention racism and racial issues. Confronting racism is often uncomfortable. A song that can begin the conversation in classrooms is "Your Racist Friend" by They Might Be Giants.
Continue the conversation about racism with Bruce Hornsby’s "The Way It Is". The song refers to the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. Though this law gave legal rights to people of color, the lyrics remind us that "the law doesn’t change another’s mind" when it comes to prejudice.
Thanks for your listening.
选项
答案
black soldiers
解析
讲座提到的第二个话题是美国历史。由原文可知,“Buffalo Soldier”是鲍勃. 马利写的,讲述的是19世纪黑人士兵的故事,这些士兵被与他们在内战后交战的印第安人 称为“水牛战士”。因此填入black soldiers。
