« Beds are burning »

Dear Year-9 students,

Here comes the original version of the song we worked on yesterday. Remember, it was released in 1987 by the Australian band Midnight Oil.

You can compare the original lyrics to the ones we worked on.

Enjoy!

Mrs G.

Beds Are Burning
Midnight Oil

« Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair’s fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees »

Some American key figures

Dear Year-9 students,

There are just so many people who influenced and helped define the history and culture of the United States of America that it is impossible to say who was the most significant. We chose a few very different key figures from very different fields for that first week after the holidays and hope you enjoyed discovering them.

Can you now name them all and explain what they did or why they became famous? Let’s see with this Quizlet page.

Who is your favourite figure by the way? I think mine is probably Billie Holiday because I really like her music and always find her song « Strange Fruit » extremely moving. If you don’t know it, here comes a video.

Have fun and learn!
