"Let it snow"

It is time to sing!

Dean Martin: "Let it snow"

"Let it snow" karaoke version

LYRICS

LET IT SNOW

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

VISIONS OF THE FUTURE

POSSIBLE? PROBABLE? CERTAIN?

A lot of things might happen in the future. Just like science-fiction, let's try to imagine what the world will be like in hundreds or thousands of years...

POSSIBILITY: "possibly", "probably", "it may..." or "maybe".

CERTAINTY: "surely", "without a doubt", "it will..." or "it won't".

Describe the way the boy looks and make assumptions

When you're done...

...continue on and imagine things which will/won't/may happen in the future...

A SONG ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE

CREATE A FUTURISTIC DIALOGUE

In this video Korben is having breakfast. He is talking with his friend the caterer about something you will have to imagine yourself. Think of all the things we talked about in class (global warming, robots, endangered species, space colonies...) and create the dialogue.

A NOVEL ABOUT THE FUTURE

We read an extract from this novel in class. This was the beginning of chapter 2.

EXTRA

Given the fact that we talked a lot about TV ads, campaigns and posters, here is a link to a 16-minute animation movie called "LOGORAMA". It was directed by three french men, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy et Ludovic Houplain.

LOGORAMA

"Welcome to the future class."

Back to the Middle Ages!

A SONG ABOUT TIME TRAVEL

LYRICS

Tell me, doctor, where are we going this time
Is this the 50's, or 1999
All I wanted to do - was play my guitar and sing

So take me away, I don't mind
But you'd better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time

Don't bet your future, on one roll of the dice
Better remember, lightning never strikes twice
Please don't drive eighty eight, don't wanna be late again

So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time!
