11 form “Somewhere over the Rainbow”

Let me offer you this song by Ray Charles. Listen to it by clicking on the play button and follow the lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

11 form (regular)

Writing activity

There are at least four options, so far:

1. Build an ad display with appealing slogan and persuasive text. Add picture and publish it in your e-portfolios.

2. Analyse a display, commenting on its attractive characteristics and explaining how effective its strategies are.

3. Find out (through an inquiry) the attitude people have towards the advertising, both in papers/magazines and on the radio/TV/Internet.

4. Make a survey to find out the main differences between Christmas time today and in the old times (sixty or seventy years ago).

Don’t forget: you’ve got only two weeks. Have a nice time.
