After some weeks of “observation”, and as agreed with my tutor Núria, I’ve taken the first steps!!!As said before, I decided to teach in the group of 4 ESO. As every lesson from the subject is related with songs and the group showed a low motivation, I thought it would be a good idea asking the students about what they would like to do.
I prepared a short survey and asked Núria for her opinion. She agreed, so, last Tuesday I passed them the questions, they had only to choose the music styles they liked and write down some of their favourite artists and songs.
Now, I will compile the results and try to work at class with some of the most popular songs.
Last Tuesday, 13th November, I also asked the students if somebody was volunteer to help us in the class, choosing a song and preparing activities for their partners. There were three students that decided to collaborate. So, during the following class on Thursday, those 3 students and me, we sat together during the lesson time and listened to some songs. We had a computer, so we could watch the videos in YouTube and then print the lyrics and see if they could understand the song or not. We finally chose Umbrella by Rihanna and agreed about the exercises and activities we could be doing. They suggested ideas concerning the type of exercises they preferred and how we could be organising the class. It was very interesting ! We had a great time!

Teacher Anna!!! Lucky... And God Bless you... Always!!!
I prepared a gap-filling exercise with that song for my 3rd of ESO students. They really enjoyed it, sang along and confessed they had no idea what the song was about before this lesson. Good luck! ;)
