Em maio de 2018, o cantor Childish Gambino lançou a música e o videoclip da música “This is America” . Sucesso instantâneo, entre as 10 mais pedidas de todas as paradas musicais, a música chamou a atenção da mídia internacional, principalmente por seu clipe com cenas fortes de violência que são um convite à discussão sobre preconceito, discriminação e racismo. A proposta que apresento para trabalhar com essa música na sala de aula tem como objetivo promover a reflexão por parte dos alunos tanto sobre os aspectos linguísticos quanto sobre o que a música representa em termos de crítica social. A proposta, portanto, é de que os estudantes assistam ao videoclipe e discutam a criticidade presente na produção artística. Os alunos assitirão a um video do youtuber "Amigo Gringo" em que ele analisa o clipe e trabalha com algumas expressões e phrasal verbs da música. Ao final, os alunos receberão a letra da música com exercícios de análise linguística. Com isso, os apr...

Here it goes the link for a lesson I have prepared to work with my students. My group is a pre-intermediate and we are going to review parts of the body and members of the family using this song. We will also discuss some quick facts about Nina Simone's life using the past tense of the verbs. http://www.slideshare.net/sueufrgs/nina-simone-72161131

I never wanted you to be my man I just need your company Don't want to get dependent on Your time or who you spend it on Or lose the way you love me Like smoke, I hung around And be your balance [Nas] It's not a movie, this is not a script to proofread I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies Tryna punctuate the funds I make amounts I take put in your face oh, my mistake You're not a floozy? Then excuse me Before I talk, my style introduced me Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3 Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary I kick the narrative, this is legendary The good Samaritan, good thespian Like a polygamist, with a twist Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess I hold a lady's interest, I just met The love scholar, she the teacher's pet Every other eve we'd meet and make each other sweat I feel triumph with no strings Just a fling to have fun with I be out in London, Camden Huntin' for the answers, why did God take away the h...

DESCRIBING A HOUSE

Imagem
FOR SALE It’s a spacious house with a kitchen, two bedrooms (one bedroom with a bunk), two bathrooms, a garage for two cars, a small frontyard, a pool on the backyard and a backboard. The neighborhood is quiet, but ocasionally some neighbors turn their radio on the max volume. I can’t say that the district is completely safe, but thefts are not frequent.  . The house is near  a pizzeria and on the same street there is  a market that sells a bit of everything. This house is perfect for those who wanna have a simple life.

Basket Case Green Day Do you have the time To listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned? I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore She said my life's a bore And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned? Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned?
