Oral Presentations

I remind you that next 9th Wednesday and 10th Thursday we will go on with the oral presentations of your projects on Pop Music. Here in the blog I have added a gadget where you can listen to some of the musicians and songs you have worked on: Alan Parsons Project, ABBA, Stevie Wonder... together with some present day singers and groups.

What do you wear?

In Unit 2 you are learning new words in terms of clothing and fashion. What kind of clothes are fashionable today? Are these the same ones as those pop singers used to wear years ago?. You can compare them. First, revise the vocabulary for men's clothing by clicking on the photo. You can click here to revise women's clothing.

Then you can practise the vocabulary learnt by doing quiz 1 and quiz 2.

More about Music

We have learnt that the word POP comes from popular, so that is the kind of music that speaks to everyone but did you know that there are many different styles within this genre ? and what about R&B?

Some of the most popular songs of all times have become famous as part of the soundtrack in films.

MUSIC is ...

Music is the topic for the first unit in your textbook this year. Last week we studied some adjectives to describe your favourite types of music: latin, rock, pop,hip hop, rap,folk, classical... Here you can identify musical instruments of all sorts: stringed, keyboard, wind or percussion ones. Then, play the first game and game two to check the vocabulary you know.

On this website you can watch, read, listen and sing the best songs and learn more about the singers and groups who recieve an award every year: World Music Awards. Choose one of your favourite ones and learn about them as next week you will have to write about them. You will get extra marks if you also give a presentation to your class!!
