cheese factor 10 and rising
Where could you find a piano, a music and film expert, an English teacher and a technical director who can’t sing and a group of very talented Language Lab students? The answer was ‘When harry pronounced Sally – The Musical. Our latest event combined pronunciation and stress skills with music to produce the first musical ever done in Second Life! ?
First, everybody watched the scene from the movie ‘When Harry met Sally’ where Harry and Sally meet in a restaurant. The students discussed what feelings Harry and Sally had towards each other and why. Then, we started to look at the sentences in more detail and discuss the meanings of words. Finally, all our students practiced saying the sentences. In particular, we focused on questions and rising intonation.
When all the students had finished, Griffin (Language Lab’s city resident and music expert) taught everyone how to sing the sentences with the music he had made for the event. To do this, we had special giant screens with all the words and how they should be sung. We also had Griffin singing and playing the piano. After a bit of practice, everyone started singing. It was brilliant!! We found that there was a little delay because of internet connections so we couldn’t all sing at the same time but this made it very funny. Congratulations Language Lab students for performing the first musical in Second Life and thanks to everyone for participating. Maybe next time we can do Terminator- The Musical?
