Daydreaming
Diary entry by Maëlle
When she works:
She can see the kitchen.
She can hear the noise of the plates.
She can smell the smell of the food.
She can touch the pastry.
She is a waitress in a restaurant and she feels nervous.
I think she wants to do a long journey.
When she daydreams:
She can see the forest.
She can hear the birds.
She can smell the flowers.
She can touch the leaves.
She is in Scotland and she feels happy.
I think after her work, she will go home and watch TV.
She will go to bed and she will dream about Scotland.
Watch it
Do it!
A global phenomenon in schools around the world! In Drummondville, a Montreal suburb, 1,500 high school students clap and sing together. Just another Canadian fashion!
Learn it
Tutorial by Ninon
Watch a tutorial on how to do the Cup Song. It starts at 1:00 min. In order to understand, you will need to know the following words:
clap
tap
move over
down
up
pick it up
hit
upside down
start it over
This is what she says:
You can use a paper cup or a plastic cup. So what you do is : you start with the cup upside down.
The first step is clap clap, tap tap tap, clap, move over
In the second half, you pick it up with your arm over and hit, down, up and upside down
So that’s all !
There is a song that goes along with it too. Maybe you saw “Pitch Perfect”. Ninon will write the lyrics for you.
