May Week Three

 This week we talked about the song contest EUROVISION in all its glory: the camp, the costumes, the divas!  Sadly (for me, at least), Eurovision 2020 has been called off, but we celebrated our own version of the song contest in class this year.

Listening:
Learners can listen to an activity from ELLLO about Eurovision  and hear some differing opinions about the international song contest.

For original version, I recommend listening to Switched on Pop's episode about Eurovision 2020 which was an inspiration for this week's class.

Reading:
Learners can read about the history the contest and its wide reaching appeal.

For original version, check out a longread article about the meaning of Eurovision from the New Yorker. Or try another article, At Last, Scientific Proof That Eurovision Makes You Happier.

Writing:
For writing, write an essay defending your love or hate for this song contest.  Would you make changes to this event or do you like it just the way it is? Do you have a favorite act?

Best,
Kelly
