Summer Learning Journey Day 14 WK.3

12/30/2016
Day 13 – La, La, La...
Although you had a very restful day yesterday watching TV you have woken up feeling quite tired. You decide to turn on the radio and listen to some music before you get up and get on with your day. When you turn on the radio, the first song that you hear is one by Justin Bieber, a musician from Canada.
Activity 1
Justin Bieber is arguably one of the most famous musicians in the world right now. He has had (#) of Number 1 hits, including the songs:
Watch the three videos. After you have finished watching them, rank them from #1 (best) to #3 (worst). On your blog, list the three videos in order from best to work and tell us why you have ranked them in that order.
ANSWER
#1. Love yourself
#2. Baby
#3. Sorry
The reason I put love yourself first because I like it and I would actually listen to it. The next reason why I put baby second because I would rather listen to it then sorry. The reason I put sorry last was because I have listened to it too much and it is really annoying.

Every year there is a huge music festival held in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It is called WOMAD. WOMAD stands for ‘World of Music, Arts and Dance.’ The festival began in 1980 and there are WOMAD festivals held every year in Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Spain, Italy and The United Arab Emirates. They attract singers and performers from all around the world. Imagine that you are on the WOMAD organising committee for next year. Which two musicians/bands would you invite to perform? On your blog tell us the names of the two musicians/bands and tell us a bit about them. Where are they from? What kind of music do they play?
ANSWER
One musician that I would invite is Beyonce she is from America and the genre of music that she performs is contemporary R&B, and she also sings Pop music.
The musician band that I would invite would have to be Little Mix they are from Britain and they are a girl band. The genre of music that they perform is Pop, dance pop, and contemporary R&B.
Bonus Activity
There are literally dozens of different types (‘genres’) of music in the world, including classical, rock ‘n roll, Rhythm & Blues (R&B), pop, hip hop, rap, jazz, etc. Some musicians play on their own and some play as part of a band. Arguably, the most influential band of all time is The Beatles. They were a rock band from Liverpool, England.
Dozens of movies have been made about the band. The most recent was a documentary called ‘The Beatles: 8 Days a Week – The Touring Years.’ Watch the trailer for this movie.
After you have finished, tell us two things that you learned about the Beatles from watching this trailer. They can be any two interesting facts!
ANSWER
What I have learned about the beetles is that they were very famous and they were one of the top musicians in the world. I also learned that the world went insane because of how popular the beatles were and still to this day there are many fans around the world that still listen to there music and my sister Nicole also likes to listening to their music and one of her favorite songs that they sing is called obladi - oblada.
Bonus Activity = 6 points

  1. Hi Katelyn,

    It's very true that people went kind of crazy wherever the Beatles performed. My sister, Kelsey, went to a couple of their concerts in Toronto, Canada when she was a teenager and she was very very excited at the time!! There were even girls who fainted at the concerts! Can you imagine? They were just that overcome with excitement!

    It's cool that you're a fan of Beyonce. Do you listen to her music often?

    I haven't heard of the band you've chosen, Little Mix. I like that it's a girl band. I'll google them and give them a listen. Thanks for the idea!

    I hope you're enjoying this Summer Holiday Learning program and that you're having a wonderful summer!
