Connect – Extend – Challenge
1. How are the ideas and information presented connected to what you already knew?
2. What new ideas did you get that extended or pushed your thinking in new directions?
3. What is still challenging or confusing for you to get your mind around? What questions, wonderings or puzzles do you now have?
4. Make a video using Windows Movie Maker using the lyrics of this song to guide you. The video must tell us about the world and our global journey. Use images from our friends Global Blogs and from our blog. Tell me about ‘Somewhere in the World’.
I went to Queensland and I like Queensland because it’s very fun and there is nice people and fun things to do.
I really like that song because it sounds really good at the chores and is really soft at the start!
Dear Mrs Joyce,
This song connected me with the line “we’re all together.” It reminded me about all the people I have met from around the world. Also another line that said “No one is fighting.” Connects to me about harmony, and how we should be friend each other. I believe that I should extend my thinking with lines, “We all have a freedom of speech.”, “Taken to the perfect world.”, “Everyone is a leader.”, “no one is feared.”, and “no indifference.” What challenges me is, how will ever the rich and poor ever walk side by side, if they both main enemy’s. Also how can cultures combine, if people are being racist.
Connection:the connection I got was that Uganda has a poor amount of water and it would be like us walking next to them
Extension: the extension I made was that we could use the lyrics to teach people all over the world.
Question: a question I had was how is the world ever going to be like it.
Dear mrs Joyce I extended my thinking by listening to what he said and making sure I don’t get distracted. my connection is he is singing about the world and what he wants the world to be we connect with lots of people around the world keeping in touch of our global adventure. It was challenging to do the lyrics and to figure out what he was saying.
Dear Mrs Joyce,
I loved the Vidoe and I am glad that he won Australians got Tallent! I think that he has good feelings when he signs his songs because when we were doing reading sometime this week, the amount of thoughts you said about the song that we could write down! I think that I couldn’t keep up with you because you were sayingh then out so fast! It was a perfect song to reaflect on! I don’t know how many thoughts there could be ion that one song! In my opinion, I think that there would be alot of them! but I think that is why he won! Because the judges on the show new that he had feelings in his heart that were making him sing like that! That is how important it is to have faith in yourself as you are doing anything! Aspesily singing! I liked doingh that the other day because it is just showing you what can happen if you do the right things! They diserve things! That is what he got!
