HelenC, MySong

I love this song and I think this group is great! I saw them at a concert when I was in Peru and I always remember them. This song makes me feel happy and free because I remember one of the best times of my life. I had a fantastic time when I was in South America and I'll always remember it has one of the best times of my life!

MySong Activity

Write a post to say what you liked/didn’t like about today’s class:

1. The title should be your name - MySong Activity (e.g. HelenC - MySong Activity)
2. In the labels box type your name, MySong (e.g. HelenC, MySong
3. Write about 60 words and talk about:

• the good things
• the not very good things
• how easy/difficult it was to embed the video
• something you would like to do using the blog (if you have an idea)

Here is an example:

I really enjoyed using the computers because it is different from using the course book. I also learned lots of new technology vocabulary. There were some problems with the technology which was a bit frustrating but I still preferred this class to using the book. Embedding the blog was incredibly easy! I didn't know how easy it was.

HelenC - This is a great song!

Hi. I'm Helen. I'm from the UK but I live in Seville. I'm an English teacher and a Spanish student so I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language! I chose to learn Spanish because so many people speak it as a first language. I think it's a very important world language.

In my free time I love listening to music. Here is a video of one of my favourite Spanish songs. The group is Libido and they're from Peru - they're very famous in South America and a bit famous in America, but not very well-known in Spain. The song is quite sad but I love the lyrics and the music and I don't feel sad when I listen to it. I usually listen to it when I feel calm and relaxed.

Create a Song Worksheet

Every Wednesday (T7A) and Thursday (T7B) we will listen to a song at the end of the class.  But YOU will choose the song and create the worksheet.  To create a worksheet, you need to find a suitable video and the lyrics to the song.

To make your song worksheet:

• copy and paste the lyrics into a Word or OpenOffice document
• replace some of the words with lines, jumbled words, Spanish words or image
• remember to keep a copy of the deleted words!!
• print one copy - I will take copies for everybody in class.

Here is a website for lyrics - if you know a better one let me know!  You might need to watch the video and read the lyrics at the same time because sometimes the words are a little bit different.
