The
topic I discussed today with Hang ah was popular English songs with lyrics that
require a little bit of analysis. The songs included lots of metaphors, personifications
and references. I instructed Hang ah to read the lyrics and make her own inferences
on what the song is about. Then I gave her some hints to help her put the
pieces together. Once we did our full analysis, we watched the music video
together. One song, Mrs. Potato Head, was about a young girl who constantly
changed her appearance for a man who would eventually leave her. The lyrics
compared her to Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story. Other songs included shared
knowledge common in America, like using the word “green” to describe jealous people
and using the phrase “the Golden” to refer to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Hang Ah asked a lot of questions on these specific examples and was very pleased
to learn new things. I was glad to see her enjoy this activity!
