Blowing in The Wind Lesson Plan

The document contains song lyrics from Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" and discussion questions about the song. The song poses a series of rhetorical questions about freedom, war, and social change. It suggests that the answers to these profound questions are elusive and complex, "blowing in the wind." The discussion questions ask readers to analyze the meaning of lines in the song, compose their own verses of rhetorical questions, and write conditional sentences based on the lyrics.
