This first week of August, Access scholars learned the English language and American values, through songs. They first examined the significant human experience embodied in the song, We Can by Leann Rimes. Activities include song lyrics gap-fill exercise, and then whole class discussion on the theme and values of the speaker of the song. Afterwards, they brainstormed on songs that had the same inspirational theme. Lastly, in small groups, students composed their own Access theme songs. Their final output will be presented this Friday, August 08 in a culminating activity.
Below is the Powerpoint lesson procedure.
See the photos of students working on the activity and rehearsing their songs below.



























We really enjoyed the Music Festival. When the other groups were performing, and I was watching them, I really wanted to sing and dance with them. The tunes of their songs were familiar to me, and there were the messages of the songs. They're all good. All of us said that we shouldn't give up that easily and we need to overcome challenges; and we really can! Let's be positive.
ReplyDeleteAnother astonishing achievement was reached by everyone. I was stunned by every group's presentation. I know that they felt it, too.
