I wonder How, I wonder Why

Sing along! I wonder How, I wonder why

Are you ready??

Knick Knack

You are going to watch a video about the worst luck of a snowman. Watch carefully because I want you to tell me the story afterwards using connectors and details. Try to explain how you think the snowman must feel. Remember to brainstorm ideas and feelings you got from watching the video and write them down on a first draft to organise your final writing.
Pay attention also to the music, I want you to find out how it is performed.
If you had to create a title for this little video What would that be?

What is Christmas all about?

Do you like Christmas?
Here is an advert which has become a great hit? Why do you think people like it?
Before watching it write down some predictions about what you think it's going to happen in this little ad.
Watch it and write about it. What makes us think the boy is feeling very impatient? How can we tell time passes very slowly for him? Why is the final "turn" a bit unexpected for us? What do you think is the best thing about giving presents? What is the best present you have ever given? What is the best present you have ever received?

Packing

Have you ever had a hard time packing? Do you usually have trouble making up your mind about what to include in a suitcase?
What would you include in your suitcase if you were going to be a globtrotter for a month?



Now try to explain how this guy packed. In your opinion did he forget about anything important? Would you have included something in your suitcase he didn't?

The Italian Man Who went to Malta.

Work on your pronunciation! There are some bad words here you don't want to say!

The Story of Stuff

What do you think this Indian proverb means? What is it trying to tell us? Do you think it is still true 150 years later? What is, from your point of view, the main reason for the destruction of our planet? Do you think you are part of the problem or part of the solution? Try to explain, in your own words, whether you agree with the saying or not. Then watch the video. What have you learnt by watching the video that you didn't know or weren't aware of?
