ARGENTONA "ROCKSTAR"

Your video is ready....now you have to write in the "subtitles" !! (next class).

But first:
FOR NEXT WEDNESDAY:
1. copy the code for this video at YouTube and Post the video on your site.
2. write in YOUR BLOG the sentance (verse, or line) immediately before your re-mixed line,
then your line, then the line afterwards. (three lines from memory)
.
Try to do it without looking at the words, then look at the lyrics and see how much was correct.

3. On your blog write the sentance..."If I were a rock star..........." and finish it with the correct form of
the part you play in the video using the conditional or "hypothetical" tense like in this example:
If I were a rockstar, I would have a big black jet with a bedroom in it.

OBAMA: Reactions around the world


Use the internet search to find an international message (not from the u.s) related to Obama's being elected President of the U.S.A. and post it here. Translate it to Catalan.
just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
