This is another amazing practice for you to improve your creative writing!

With the words that you found on the video, try to create a song, it should be no longer than 4 paragraphs (four lines each) and consider the following tips:

1° Don’t rhyme too much, it is better to use rhyming in a subtle way so that it does not detract from the main message of the song.

2° The lyrics of the song should tell a kind of story, you will have to develop a coherent plot (try to answer yourself what you want your listeners to feel after listening to the song).

3° Write in a special way to warm up your listeners and demonstrate your own style; otherwise, you may lose your audience or not stand out from the others.

4° Last but not least, a “Hook” is also important when writing a song, it should be at the beginning to catch your listeners’ attention (30 seconds or so).

*On future sessions you will have the chance to create a video about your song, you will be given some useful resources to record it (background music, audio editing software, among others)*

Feel comfortable and Do your best !

Hi Dear Students,  I hope this post finds you well.

As you know, all our activities are connected to each other, that's the reason why you will made a video by pairs. 

What to do ?

1. Create a video explaining each word you have discovered in the previous activity, taking into account that each person needs to demonstrate how to pronounce and how to write it.

Finally, as a group you need to show some phonetic words; for instance:  ([ˈhəʊm) since other groups will watch your video in order to guess what you have done, don't forget that you need to go to other groups to do the same process.

At least 10 minutes and 5 words.
