John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (lyrics on screen).

There are many themes in History: One theme is a person's struggle against different forces.

Here are four possible categories

Man versus Man, Man vs Self, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society.

Over the past week 2 songs have been played - Horse with No Name, Island Style, and now St. Elmo's Fire. We have classified the songs identifying geographic features and man's view of them. In addition we have seen how nature can be weapon used by men to fight and commit genocide against other groups of men (Saddam vs the Mad'an (The Marsh Arabs). We have also read about how the Egyptians and Sumerians dealt with the forces of Nature which could have threatened their communities and used them for the common good.

Below is a song called St. Elmo's fire. Consider what themes and words that give evidence to Events, History, Culture, Geography and Economics. What is the main idea here? How does it make you feel. (use graphic organizer - I see, I feel, think, and have questions about.
