1èL2 - Protest singers

Today, we worked on protest songs.

I first told you what your future task will be:

You will have to choose your favourite protest song

and analyse it.

You will have to talk about the singer / the band, the context, the lyrics etc.

We then listened to some of them and briefly told
what they were criticizing or denouncing.
Here is the vocabulary we used to do so:
(don't forget to learn these structures by heart !!)

to reproach somebody for / with doing sthg
to blame somebody for doing sthg
to criticize somebody for doing sthg
to accuse somebody of doing sthg

Here is the site we used to listen to these songs:
(Thanks to V. GELY for her great work !)

You can listen to them again and to the others
and try to train yourselves !
And here is a link that could help you find a song for your work:

Enjoy !
