"America"
The kids have been pressing me to do a musical in class, and I finally caved to their demands. My two stipulations, however, were that the musical had to touch on social issues and also have good music (as decided by me, an "objective" critic who seldom listens to songs from musicals). The compromise was West Side Story, which I think nicely fits the above two criteria. Links to the song, "America," and accompanying lesson plan are below.

ReplyDeleteThis song is very catchy! I really like this song.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bernardo(boys). Everything free in America? Life can be bright and alright in America? That can't be true...The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
However, if there are people who want to emigrate to Japan, I think that Japan is better to accept them.
Japan have yet to be internationalization. For the internationalization of Japan, Japanese should get involved with foreigners everywhere such as schools and workplaces.
Hi A.I., thanks for your comment and insight!
