Activity 6
"I ran (so far away)" by A Flock of Seaguls
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
Divided into teams, each round, one student memorizes lines and then dictates them to their team. The most accurate rendition wins.
Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me The love we share seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh) Tainted love Now I know I've got to run away I've got to get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right you need someone to hold you tight And you think love is to pray But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)
… I walked along the avenue I never thought I'd meet a girl like you Meet a girl like you With auburn hair and tawny eyes The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through Hypnotize me through … And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away … A cloud appears above your head A beam of light comes shining down on you Shining down on you The cloud is moving nearer still Aurora borealis comes in view Aurora comes in view … And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away … Reached out a hand to touch your face You're slowly disappearing from my view 'Pearing from my view Reached out a hand to try again I'm floating in a beam of light with you A beam of light with you … And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I couldn't get away

Activity 10
Hey, Ben. So yesterday, I met Henry, after talking with Jason, and he asked me about my Spotify Wrapped. "What was your favourite song?" he asked. I wanted it to be "Don't Give Hate a Chance", by Jamiroquai, but imagine my surprise when I saw "TiK ToK", by Kesha. "Was Eminem in your Top 5 artists?" he said. "Yeah, at least he was there", I told him. To be fair, Eminem is always in my Top 5. Every year."So, what was your favourite genre? Was it Rap?". "No, it wasn't", I said. "Rap was the genre I listened to the most, but my favourite genre was actually Indie".I just don't understand. My Spotify Wrapped allows me to see my Top songs from last year, the minutes I spent on the app, my favourite genre, even a cool description.But the algorithm seems mistaken. Ok, I need to go back to studying for tomorrow's exam. It's time to face the music.See you soon,James.
