"Let it snow"

It is time to sing!




 
Dean Martin: "Let it snow"


"Let it snow" karaoke version



                               LYRICS                             

LET IT SNOW

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

We are going to focus on the future of our planet...

               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...

GLOBAL WARMING
LIFE IN SPACE

MARS COLONISATION


ROBOTS




TOXIC WASTE / POLLUTION

ENDANGERED SPECIES

        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.
