How do you understand this song?

Hello! 

 

[I've got the tests. 

ASAP I'll share with you the results/ feedback!

I'll finish correcting the texts first so you can prepare your portfolio. 

New deadline to send me your portfolio, since I'm late as well:

10th December 2015 by mail with postcard.]

 

Now, relax, enjoy the journey, watch this videoclip and share your thoughts. 

 

Listen to Pink Floyd and their Another brick in the wall

 

Did you know this song?

What does it mean?

What is the message from your perspective?

What is school? What should it be?

 

Share your thoughts! And "talk" to each other!

I love reading!

Relax, trust yourself, trust me!

I know I haven't sent you my feedback. My sincere apologies. 

I know you are worried about the test tomorrow. It's ok. 

 

I know you are nervous.

I understand.

Breath in, breath out.

 

 

Trust yourself.

You can do it.

Trust me.

I'm human and I want you to work hard and succeed.

After all:

It's just a test.

So, 

study:

reading, doing exercises, writing in your diary, chatting with friends, meditating, sleeping.

 

Study

if you feel so,

and enjoy the music, enjoy the journey, enjoy yourself.

 

Breath in, breath out. 

It's just a test.

You can do it!

What is the message?

Sometimes to write and to read we need to listen first.

 

Listen carefully.

 

Do you agree with Russell Brand?

 

 

What are his main points?

Write about (just) one that really surprised you or touched you. Explain why you chose that one. 

Everyone try to add a new one to the conversation.

"Raising a princess single-handedly"

"Raising a princess single-handedly"   NYTimes, 2009

 

Any thoughts about the text?

 

Did it bring any memories from your childhood?

From your own life?

 

Any questions? comments?

 

I personally love this text. 

The first time I read it I was in the subway in NYC and it really touched me...

Impossible to forget!

 

What about you? Did you like it?

 

Haven't you read it, yet?

 

 

Give it a try! Read it and (hopefully) enjoy it!

 

We will discuss it next week as well in class!

Why are you learning English?

Maybe because you just want to help someone... 

 

 or because you hate subtitles...

 

or you feel you need to improve your pronunciation...

 

or need to broaden your vocabulary...

 

or because you want to understand some songs (well in fact it's German, but it's still funny!)...

 

or understand the lyrics at a different level... 

 

Enjoy, laugh and share your thoughts!

 

Why are you learning English?

Why?
