Show transcript
‘London is the Place for Me’ was written by Aldwyn ‘Lord Kitchener’ Roberts in 1948. ‘Sweet Jamaica’ was written four years after his arrival on the Empire Windrush, in 1952. We can compare and contrast songs with similar themes or messages, noticing the impact that they have on us as readers. Understanding the context of the songs can support readers to form deeper reflections. From reading, listening and discussing songs about migration, we can make connections to our own lives and experiences.
