We Didn't Start the Fire Lesson Plan
By Language Arts Excellence
This resource features a highly engaging, and memorable way to reflect on the year with your high school or middle school students using the lyrics to Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire!
This step-by-step two-day lesson plan encourages students to consider what defines their generation and then create their own lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." Every year, this lesson has been a huge hit with my students especially on the last two days of school. Your students will appreciate your taking the time to allow them to step back and reflect upon their world. You will love it because no preparation is needed at all for this very memorable activity!
