UNIT 1: MAKING MUSIC (4th ESO)

We are sure all students will like the topic of this unit: who doesn't like music? It brings so many positive things...

The WDYT? question is an interesting one: How can music bring people together? There are many answers and you will find out some while working with this unit. Let's see an example: in the following video you will see lots of famous artists who got together to sing the song "We Are the World"  written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie in 1985 to raise funds to help with the famine that was devastating Ethiopia at the time. 

To talk about music, we need to refresh some vocabulary. Here you have a matching activity to practise it:
