Produktbeschreibung
The old days of drill, killing interest and motivation is in the rear-view mirror of Natalia's little red car. The book tells the story of Natalia's growth of mind from her first adolescent party to a mature young woman determined to find social justice. This seven-chapter story of adolescent growth is set to rhythmic music and the reader pats her feet to the beat of Natalia's adventures. As students learn the lyrics to the music in each chapter, she is practicing new languages. A new yoga pose is part of each chapter, and students experience increasing awareness of the power of their body to the fun rhythms of the music. The language of music is included in audio files that students listen to as often as they need to by simply scanning the QR code and clicking on a link at the www.ez-model.com website. Each chapter takes the learner to the Museum of Reincarnation where Martin Luther King, Jr., Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Ludwig van Beethoven, Hatshepsut, and Florence Nightingale are waiting to share the wisdom of their worlds. Each chapter includes activities that enhance the learning of language. The activities include: 7 stages of listening and reading lyrics, reading comprehension based on the "WH Questions (what, when, where, how, who, why)", syntax notes, cultural notes, writing creative story/lyrics based on SPARC (Setting, Participants, Actions, Reasons, Conclusions), quick quizzes and endnotes (Museum of Reincarnation transcripts and models of conversations). These creative activities deepen the understanding of language, challenges the learner, and immerses them in new cultural worlds full of music, movement, excitement, and dance.
