Here we can appreciate some of our 4th level artists’ master works. They have written songs about the Titanic historical event.

The lyrics are written in the 3 curricular languages taught at school: English, Catalan and Spanish. An extraordinary example of a plurilingual task!

You can watch the videos and sing the songs. The lyrics are included in PDF documents too.

The lyrics are “originally written by themselves”!!!!!

Well done. Good work! Don’t you think?

Thank you so much for helping us with the music teacher Belén;) It sounds great with your guitar:))

Titanic Word Clouds

Here we can see some Word Clouds created by pupils of Cicle Mitjà, they have used adjectives to describe the Titanic. The Web 2.0. tool used for this task is called Tagxedo.

Later on, they wrote their own lyrics for original Titanic songs using some of these adjectives. They have also used some rhyming dictionaries to write the lyrics, here you have some links to good rhyming dictionaries:
