Today, we worked on the song Mother Father
by Dave Matthews Band (DMB).
You first listened to it once and you had to tell everything
you understood and to concentrate on the music.
You told me about the evolution of the music in the song
(the music seems to be angrier at the end)
and about the main musical instruments you heard
(the guitar and the drums).
You tried to guess what the theme was with the keywords you heard.
You then had a fill in the gaps text of the lyrics to complete.
Here is the document
And you can here the listen again by clicking below
Hope you liked the song !
HW: You have to finish completing the music vocabulary grid
+ to find all the antonyms and the different themes treated in the song.
You can also train yourselves by making this online exercise !

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 !
