A little more about parody...



Last class, we produced a parody of the song ‘Another Brick in the wall’ (look ‘We don’t know who is the fault’). This activity was interesting, fun and a little difficult. Besides working with music, usually much appreciated by the people, for this activity is necessary to work with the vocabulary, phonetics, rhythm / rhyme and, of course, choose a theme.
At first it may be a bit difficult, think about all these issues, but with a little concentration and effort everything goes right. It is important to remember that an activity carried out in a group can become much more interesting for students.
As a student, I can say that I felt interested and motivated to perform the activity, trying to overcome the difficulties. As an example, think of the rhymes and in the context of the lyric. (Everything must be in agreement).
As a teacher, I believe the activity is appropriate for students. Besides working with many skills and improve their English, students need to think and reflect on what they are doing.
After the task finished, I think interesting to create a blog for the classroom, where everyone could publish their work. And each class can see the work of another.
