Songs Songs Songs.....

This week seems to be quite hectic... With all our assignments reaching their due dates and loads of work to begin, continue and end with. Yet, we were somewhat relieved and even excited when Miss Dzeelfa announced that we are going to use songs in our classrooms a week earlier.

Songs... Wow something of our interest as Jumi says... So we spent the whole week thinking of how would she devise the lesson and what type of activities are we supposed to come up with. The day finally came when Iskandar showed us the transparency containing Miss Dzeelfa’s instructions. We were assigned to come up with at least 2 activities using songs in classroom. So, at that moment itself (it’s a rare case), we managed to discuss the song and four activities to be carried out in classroom. Jumi seem to be more excited than the others due to her interest in songs and singing. She played a few songs using her mobile phone and we unanimously chose Hillary Swift’s “Love Story”. The reason was quite simple as the lyrics were simple and the song is quite current and catchy.

We planned to use the song to teach theme and plot of the play; “Romeo and Juliet” as supplementary text for Form 5 higher-intermediate proficiency level. The activities were done according to the four co sequel stages; set induction, pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading. During our presentation, Miss Dzeelfa gave good remarks about our work and she was pleasantly happy with our work. Well, I guess all’s well ends well...
