Halloween - part 1

Na innych blogach tematycznych od niedawna ukazują się już wpisy o Halloween. Ja również mam kilka pomysłów na to święto, zwłaszcza, że nie wszyscy wiedzą, o co w nim chodzi, a jest to przecież święto, które przybyło do nas z krajów anglojęzycznych (elementy wiedzy o krajach anglojęzycznych). Póki co proponuję piosenkę o duchach.

Ghosts - Michael Jackson

There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me
I don't understand it
Hey
I don't understand it!
Aaow
There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it
Hey!
Don't understand it
Aow
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There's a tappin in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it!
Yeah Yeah!
Don't understand it!
Your just a dog gone!
Aaow!
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me?
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back,
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin' ghost of jealousy
Aaow!
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me?
And who gave you the right to hurt my family?
And who gave you the right hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
Aaow
Dog gone
But there's no doubt about it, piece of mind
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy 

Co ciekawe, piosenkę tę można znaleźć w podręczniku dla klas IV SP "Discover English" w temacie powtórzeniowym o częściach i pomieszczeniach w domu. Do uzupełnienia są takie wyrazy:

- walls - ściany
- bed - łóżko
- chair - krzesło
- hall - hol
- room - pokój
- door - drzwi
- stairs - schody

Jeśli macie czas i ochotę możecie też ze swoimi uczniami obejrzeć cały film "Ghosts". Uchodzi za najdłuższy teledysk muzyczny. Film został wyreżyserowany przez Stana Winstona (efekty specjalne lub/i charakteryzacja przy takich filmach jak Alien, Predator, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Edward Scissorshands), a współscenarzystą był sam Stephen King! Michael Jackson zagrał tam aż 5 postaci! Czy wiecie, kto zagrał burmistrza miasta? ;)

Film może stać się również pretekstem do poruszenia takich tematów jak odmienność, dziwactwo, samotność. Czy powinniśmy odrzucać kogoś tylko dlatego, że jest ekscentrykiem?

Zapraszam do obejrzenia!
