Task Description
Jun Li is reading the classic children's book, 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'. The story is about four children who accidentally step into a magical world and help the true and good leader, Aslan, to save Narnia.
The lesson focused on a particular scene where the author has used rhymes to discuss the outstanding character of Aslan. The class discussed that the verse gave people in Narnia hope that Aslan will come and save them from the evil witch.
As a consolidation to the discussion in class, students had to share a song or rhyme that motivated them in their personal lives. Then, students had to describe their challenging situation and write exactly how the song/verse helped them.
Student's work
5C (14) Jun Li
I like the song ‘I Believe I Can Fly’. I like the lyrics in this song, that ‘There are miracles in life I must achieve’ and ‘I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.’ I heard this song when I was in Primary four. At that time, my father listened to it. I found the lyrics were easy to remember. I asked my father to explain the meaning of this song to me. I remember I had a football match that year. When the rival got the goal I thought of this song, and I tried my best to play well in the match. However, we lost the game, but I like the fact that that I was able to give my best. Anyway, I still feel that this song always gives me strength when I find myself in difficulty.
Student's Reflection
I have learned that songs can motivate us to achieve our goals. I am most proud of this piece of work because it helped me find a song which helped me during my football match. This song was suggested by my father, and I used the internet to search for the song lyrics. In this lesson I learned the value of respect. I believe it is important to respect people who have dreams and who work hard to achieve those dreams. It also helped me to learn that I should not give up when I face any difficulties. I will try my best to solve them. If I got a chance to do this piece of work again, I would like to find some other songs that can motivate me to fulfill my life goals.
