OpenStudy (anonymous):

Traditional British ballads can be funny, tragic, or even satirical, often tackling themes like love, work, and death. Like newspapers, they are impersonal in tone – regardless of how sensational the story is. i say we do a funny one..:)

5. Outline the ideas for verse of your ballad by writing in complete sentences; 3 sentences per verse for call-and-response or 4-5 sentences per verse or narrative.
