Lesson Description
This lesson bundle includes exercises that prompt students to engage in rhetorical and thematic intertextual analyses — across several of Weezer’s albums (lyrics excerpted across 20 years), and across a single album. Additional materials included as part of this bundle focus on close reading, on unpacking the rhetorical triangle using “California Kids” as a core text, and on two primary rhetorical devices: connotation and juxtaposition.
Couple these resources with our video analysis, embedded below!
