SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - poetry or songs???
I decided to look for songs that are borderline poetry and remembered Simon and Garfunkel. I wanted something recognizable but not sth my sts hear on the radio every day. I didn�t want many wss or a lot of work for the sts to do, I wanted to create short breaks from double-lessons, or as intro or end to lessons. This is urban poetry with music, and...

EMINEM & RELATIONSHIP ABUSE

Mary Poppins
Who would have guessed modern kids would love Mary Poppins?! Just goes to show you never can tell until you try. My elementary students loved the movie, the songs, the worksheet, the movie word games... They all tried to snap their fingers to tidy up their rooms, too (it didn�t work though)... If you try this, please, let me know how it went.
