Analyzing Videos and Songs

A. You will see four different photos.

For every photo, answer the
following questions.
1. Who are these people?
2. Where are they?
3. What is happening?
4. How are they feeling?

Photo «2»
Photo «3»
Photo «4»
B. Now, for every photo you just saw,
mention what you think is going to
happen next.
C. Now, you will see a video of the
photos you just saw. Pay attention to
the stories so you can describe what
happened with the people in the
pictures.
D. Now, describe what happened with
the people in the pictures and answer
the following question:
Did your original ideas match with
what you saw? Why/ Why not?

E. Now, you will see a video with the
lyrics of the song. Listen and think
about what Ms. Katy Perry wants to
express with her song.
F. So, in your opinion, what is the
general idea of the song? Why?
G. Now read the following extracts of
the lyrics of the song and say what you
think they mean or refer to.
1. Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
2. Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
3. Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under screams
But no one seems to hear a thing
4. You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
5. Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
6. Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect
road
H. Now, in pairs, prepare 2 questions for
your classmates related to the topic of the
song/ video. For example:
• Do you think that people are too worried
about what the others think? Why / Why
not?
• Do you think you should be more
outgoing? In what ways?
I. Now, work with another pair and ask
each other your questions. Make sure you
give your opinion about their questions
and about your own questions.
J. That’s all for today! Yay!
