YouTube - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' HQ

Dear Friday students,

This is the song we looked at and listened to on Friday....

"Over the Rainbow" is a famous song, first sung by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz"
(Maybe you hate this kind of music... you can tell me in the comments below!)

Here are the lyrics in a little quiz format....

You could open them in a separate window and fill them in as you listen.

This, of course, is my favorite version of the song.... with Israel Kamakawiwo'ole







Here's the original with Judy Garland, in "The Wizard of Oz"!




Here's a slow, romantic version, sung by Leona:

Joachim de Posada says, Don't eat the marshmallow yet | Video on TED.com

Joachim de Posada says, Don't eat the marshmallow yet | Video on TED.com:

"Joachim de Posada says, Don't eat the marshmallow yet"

This is the TedTalk that we watched at the end of class, with the secret of success!
(You can watch it again with the English subtitles now.)

You might enjoy looking at the lady with 12 legs... or the Ken Robinson talk about "Why schools kill creativity!"

I'm looking forward to the postings of our bloggers of the week: Yoni and Tristan. See you next week.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Serbian-Sculpture Friday English Class Blog!


I'm happy to see that almost everyone in the class is now a member...
And I've made you all administrators of the blog! It's yours!

Question:
WTF? Translation: What on earth is a class blog good for?

Answer:

This where the different members of the Friday group can share web sites and YouTube videos that they think are interesting, worthwhile, legen--read-my-lips--dary and not too lame! 

(And maybe good for improving your English!)

For example:  www.rocketboom.com



Remember:
When someone makes the effort to post something it's considered good netiquette to comment on it... interesting? funny? lame?  

(When someone posts something on the blog, we'll all get email from the blog with the link included in the post but also with a link back to the blog. Go back to the blog to leave a comment.)


All the members of the class are admins of the blog, for now it's a public blog but maybe we should limit access to just the class members... what do you think? You have the power to change that in the settings.


Do it! Don't be a lurker.
See you on Friday.
