SING, SURF AND TELL THE FUTURE

 

The purpose of this exercise is to:
1.
take notes
2.
follow instructions
3. practise skimming and scanning pages of writing to find information


PART ONE - Songs
Do you have a favourite English song?  Go the one of these sites -

All lyrics

Song Lyrics

Write in the name of your favourite song or artist. Search to see if you can find the lyrics. If you can't, try another song.

When you find the lyrics, print them out and read them and sing the song to the class (only joking, you don't have to do that. If I sang to the class there'd be a stampede to leave the room!)

Read the lyrics. Is it a romantic song? What is the subject?

What do you think the writer's point of view is?


PART TWO - Horoscope
Are you in control of your destiny, or is it all mapped out for you? What is your attitude to horoscopes?

Horoscope - Read your horoscope for today. What do you think?

Animal Signs - What's your animal sign according to the Chinese system? Click on your sign to read about your characteristics. Are they right?


PART THREE - Surfing

Okay, your turn to find a site for fun. Use the search engines. You could try 'coca cola' or 'the simpsons' or 'kids jokes' or 'australian slang' or anything else you think might be light-hearted fun. Try to find something you could share with the class.
