This lesson highlights a number of familiar songs (I am sure you will recognise most of  them) that have been re-written to include lyrics about staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Picture
For those of  you who love to write and enjoy music here is your opportunity to create some  lyrics of your own.

original song
25 years later
We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the eighth best-selling physical single of all time.

Without using a dictionary, what do you think the word 'excess' means in the sentence, "with sales in excess of 20 million copies"?

If this video was released in 1985 and redone 25 years later with a different group of musicians, in what year is the second video being performed?
Round 1985 to the nearest 10, 100 and 1 000.
Look at the number of views for each video... calculate the different... try rounding these very large numbers to the nearest million and tens of millions...

After listening to both versions of the song, do you have a preference fro one over the other? Can you guess which one Miss Davies likes - remember I was born in the late 1960's?

If you guessed the original you are correct!

Conduct a survey of the people in your home to see which version they prefer - you may wish to use a tally chart ...

If the movie Wizard of Oz was released on August 21, 1939 and Sound of Music was released March 2, 1965, how old are the movies today? If you wish to be really specific calculate it to the month and the day.
Which movie is older? Explain using words, picture and numbers how you know this to be true.

If we come back to school before the end of the year I promise to share my integrated units for each of these movies!!!

While you are watching Susan Boyle perform I want you to pay close attention to Simon and the other judge's behaviour and attitude as well as the reactions of the audience when she begins to talk ... what do you notice? Are they judging her based on her appearance? If they knew that Susan Boyle is on the Autism Spectrum do you think they might have behaved differently? What do you think about her performance?

What do you think about the mother's behaviour while her son was singing? Considering he is singing in the car, what are your thoughts on his singing abilities?
