Well, our project is nearly over. Here you can see the lyrics of our song. I hope you have enjoyed working together and have also learnt something new from your partners. Use the post to write down your ideas, impressions and comments about the work we have done. Hope to meet you again in some other amazing projects. Have a very nice summer

Well guys, now you have read and translated some more songs. What do you think about them? Write here your opinions, please.

Let’s have a look at the Spanish and the Bulgarian songs now.

Let’s start with the Spanish one.

First, consider its title and discuss it.

Then explain what  they want to resist and what aspects of their society they are criticising

Now think of your country. Are there any groups who sing similar songs?

Can you find any aspects in the song which might be applied to your country too?

Let’s consider now Chestno v ochi”   (“Honestly in the eyes”)   Are there any lines/images which make you think of your own country? Explain

Explain the metaphor     Barbed wire of rusty feelings /  is piercing every centimeter of us

Do you agree that “ We no longer want to be different” ?

Who do you think the “WE” of the song is?

Finally comment the song and its mood

Here are your worksheets, guys!

Test your listening and reading comprehension with Coldplay’s Viva la Vida, Pink’s So What,  Madonna’s Give it to me, Gabriella Cilmi’s Sweet About Me   and the Pussycat Dolls’ When I grow up 

Revise vocabulary with The Guru Project’s Infinity, Andy Mac Dowell’s This is the life,  Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl, Oasis’s The Shock of the Lightning, the use of prepositions with Rihanna’s Disturbia, the use of tenses with Metallica, Beyoncè’s If I were a Boy, Kid Rock’s All Summer Long, Shaggy’s Feel the Rush

 You have all done a great job, guys!!!
