What to do:
| 4.1.1 |
MUSIC that has stood the test of time – POP = POPular. See how many singers/groups you recognise by supplying one song for each artist.
FOR THE EDUCATOR:
Choose a piece of music for the learners to listen to, e.g. Imagine by John Lennon or Gangsters Paradise or Remember the sunscreen. Draw up some questions for them to answer. Have straightforward facts, e.g. list four things John Lennon wants you to imagine/ When will you dance the Funky Chicken? Also have questions asking for opinions, e.g. do you agree with John Lennon? Say why.
Popularity can be very fleeting. Some songs make it to the Number 1 spot, only to be knocked down the very next week. But some songs continue to be POPULAR for decades. The most POPULAR group of all that have stood the test of time is the FAB FOUR – The Beatles.
