TALKING ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE SONG

This time we are going to tell the class which is our favourite song and why

STEP 1. STICKING YOUR SONG AND LYRICS IN WALLWISHER.

  • · Double-click on the wall (screen ) and a sticky note will appear
  • · Write your first name (and a brief message in English)
  • · Add the link (the address) of the video you want to stick.
  • · Click 'ok' and it's done.
  • · Do the same with the lyrics.
  • · Check that you can see the video and lyrics

STEP 2. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT?

Remember you can use a draft with the main ideas and the most difficult words to help you but you cannot read

Follow these guidelines to help you:

  • · What is the song’s title?
  • · Group or singer?
  • · Where is the group or singer from?
  • · What type of music do they make?
  • · When did they start making music? How long have they been making music?
  • · What other famous songs do they have?
  • · When did you first hear the group? And the song?
  • · Why do you like this group? And this song?
  • · What is the song about?

STEP 3. PREPARING YOUR TALK

You are supposed to rise the audience’s interest in the song and singer you have chosen.
  • Make an interesting introduction
