LEO: Let Down

BLUESONG GUIDE DESCRIPTIONStudents often struggle to deal with the rapidly changing, information flooded and technologically complicated world that surrounds them. Mindblue’s study guide for Raidohead’s hymn to urban alienation powerfully compliments texts like Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984 or Kafka's novella The Metamorphosis.

Mindblue’s differentiated lesson plan is filled with multi-disciplinary activities that relate the song to the lives of insects, the art of advertising and films like Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show. Mindblue’s discussion questions tackle abstract lyrics and ideas in a way that makes every student engaged in this poetic meditation on modern life.
