It's Campaign Season (Somewhere)
- Published 12/26/2008

(These students often speak to the teachers, the staff in the school and their host families... and there's almost no contact with other people!). The solution is simple: VOLUNTEER. You can go to the local museum or... find a political campaign.
I recommend that students get involved in a local campaign. In Fort Lauderdale, for example, there is a campaign at www.voteglassman.com.
Why not get involved and ask questions? It's a lot of fun. Write to me if you need hints...

Each week let's do something interesting. This week is about Songs and LYRICS.Today's "homework" (if you want to participate)
1. Find a song that you LOVE in your language
2. Translate the song or find a translation into English
3. Tell us about the song: what happens in the song? Who is singing?
What is the situation? What changes at the end of the song?
4. THEN find a song that you LOVE in English (with lyrics)
5. Can you find the song with lyrics on YOUTUBE.com?
6. Try to download the song using zamzar.com (that is an experience)
6. I found an excellent song by Bob Seger... I love that old time rock and roll -- with lyrics.
