Free writing represents the free presentation of thoughts and ideas within a text. In this case, an author has the complete ability to gather thoughts, transform them into words and put them on paper without worrying about revising or editing what was written because his thoughts are being expressed freely and outside standards of language and grammar.

Neto's conflict about playing football for racist fans is developed through complications. First, he encourages all of the players to quit the team, but most of the players decide to keep playing.

This is an easy pairing to start out with as the song is simply a retelling of the poem. I like to show students the lyrics first before playing the song for them as hearing the music that accompanies the lyrics can be quite a surprise. Tiger Army is considered a psychobilly band, part of the rock music fusion genre that mixes elements of rockabilly and punk rock. After listening, discuss with students whether the music changes the meaning and tone of the lyrics. This pairing is also a perfect addition to your unit on Edgar Allan Poe.
