Video — I Won't Give Up (Jayesslee Cover of Jason Mraz)

I Won't Give Up (Jayesslee Cover of Jason Mraz)
Jayesslee is the artist who sang the Gangnam Style cover we watched before. Jayesslee means J S Lee. Their names are Janice (Jay for J) and Sonia (Ess for S) and their last name is Lee. I love their harmonies. It must have been difficult to perform this on one take at the beach.

See the lyrics below the video.

I Won't Give Up

Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not and who I am

I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up

Video — The Mission / How Great Thou Art - The Piano Guys (Wonder of The World 2 of 7)

The Mission / How Great Thou Art 
(The Piano Guys Wonders of the World Series)

This is the second in the series where The Piano Guys go to one of the 7 Wonders of the World.  In this video, they go to the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). They also visit Iguazu Falls near the border of Argentina. 

The music is a mashup (mix) of two tunes. One is called Gabriel's Oboe. It is the most famous music from the soundtrack of the movie The Mission. The setting of the movie is at Iguazu Falls. It is a wonderful movie and I strongly recommend it. It has a beautiful theme about love (not romantic). I cry every time I see it. The other music is a Christian hymn called How Great Thou Art.

Enjoy the video again.

Video – Gabriel's Oboe (from The Mission)

We watched a scene from the great movie The Mission. The story took place in the disputed territories between Brazil and Argentina and Paraguay called Iguazu. The Iguazu Falls are considered one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World.

The movie begins with the death of a missionary priest. Immediately after his death, another priest goes back to the same people. He takes an oboe and plays the melody in this video.

Lesson 8 – Informative Speeches (continued)

Informative Speech
We heard more Informative Speeches from our classmates.

Video – U2 Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own

Bono, the lead singer of U2, wrote this song as a tribute to his father when his father was dying. The words are very touching. In the handwritten text at the beginning of the song he writes that his father worked in the post office by day and sang opera by night. In the lyrics of the song, he writes that his father is the reason he sings and that his father is "reason why the opera is in me".



Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own from Cristiano Rodrigues on Vimeo.


Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight, all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Say, say, say

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

We're here now
I've still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Informative Speech
We heard some of our classmates' speeches and gave feedback with the form.

We will have the remaining speeches on Thursday. The standard will be raised because we heard the feedback given to the first speakers. Practice, practice, practice!

Informative Speech Feedback Forms
For each speaker, give feedback using the form link below.

Feedback Form

Here are some things to consider when giving feedback:

Lesson 6 – Presentation Posture and Eye Contact

Presentation Posture and Eye Contact

We learned about good presentation posture. We learned that before we speak, we should start with good posture.

Follow these steps:

1. Set your feet (shoulder width apart for men, toes pointed out, one foot in front of the other for women).
2. Set your hands (clasp one hand in the other)
3. Look at your audience (look from one end of the audience to the other slowly and then back to the middle)
4. Speak with a loud, clear voice after taking a breath.

For good eye contact, look at someone for about 3 seconds or one full sentence.

Speaking of Speech
We learned about good posture for giving presentations. We also looked at a model Informative Speech as well. Next week you will give an Informative Speech about your hometown or any city. You can use your own computer to give the presentation. If you want to use my computer, you will need to use  Google Slides  for your presentation (no USB dongles, no Powerpoint). See the steps below.



Presentation Slides
You need to share your slides with me before you come to class next week.

1. Go to Google Drive.
2. From the New button on the top left, choose Google Slides.
3. Give the title your full name + 18S AE + Informative Speech (eg. Taro Suzuki 18S AE Informative Speech).
4. Click the Share button and write my Rikkyo address. (You can continue to make changes after you share.)
5. Finish your slides before class and be ready to present. Due 5/7 23:59. You can share your slides now and continue working on them until the class.
6. Practice, practice, practice!

Your slides should be full slide photographs of your city. The best photographs are your own photographs from your camera or smart phone. If you cannot get your photos yourself, get large photos from Google Images.


Your slideshow should have at least 8 slides:

• A title slide with the name of your hometown and your name. (1 slide)
• An overview slide with your four points (text). (1 slide)
• One (or more) slides for each point. (4 or more slides)
• Summary slide with your four points (images). (1 slide)
• Title slide as your final slide. (1 slide)

Watch Lisa Suzuki's Informative Speech again. Practice with your slides many times to be smooth at it. Practice makes perfect!

Quiz

Next week we will have our SPA and 4 Strands Quiz. I promise!

Video – Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock (The Big Bang Theory)

We watched this clip from the popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory. In it, the character Sheldon demonstrates a new version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. You can find the transcript below. You can also find a graphic for the game.




Sheldon: Oh look, Saturn 3 is on.

Raj: I don’t want to watch Saturn 3. Deep Space Nine is better.

Sheldon: How is Deep Space Nine better than Saturn 3?

Raj: Simple subtraction will tell you it’s six better.

Leonard: Compromise. Watch Babylon 5.

Sheldon: In what sense is that a compromise?

Leonard: Well, five is partway between three… Never mind.

Raj: I’ll tell you what, how about we go rock-paper-scissors?

Sheldon: Ooh, I don’t think so. No, anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors- lizard-Spock.

Raj: What?

Sheldon: It’s very simple. Look, scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

This time the Piano Guys were joined by another YouTube star, Lindsey Stirling. She is known for playing violin while dancing. Enjoy it again below:


Story
Jim Phelps is the head of a super-secret government agency, the IMF (Impossible Missions Force), and is often given secret anonymous covert missions to attempt. Quite often, they are unmasking criminals or rescuing hostages. He picks his team depending on which tasks need to be done. One thing is vital on an Impossible Mission: the mission must be carried out in entire secrecy, often relying on high-tech equipment and elaborate deceptions.

Video — Cello Wars (Star Wars parody by The Piano Guys on YouTube)

The Piano Guys are my favorite YouTube artists. They have great music AND great videos. This one is a parody of my favorite movie from my childhood, Star Wars. Now people call it Episode IV (4) or A New Hope, but it was Star Wars to us when it came out. It wasn't until the stupid prequels (Episodes I, II & III) years later that those names were used.

The ideas of lightsabers, fighting ships flying across the screen, laser guns and The Force were all new and very cool. Star Wars was the first real blockbuster movie. If you wanted to see it when it came out, you might have had to wait hours and there were no reserved seats back then. It stayed in the cinemas for over a year.

I have included a modern trailer of the movie below the Piano Guys video. The original trailer was not very good. Enjoy!

Lesson 2 – Extensive Writing (EWr)

Video – Tom Sawyer by Rush

As I told you in my self-introduction, the Canadian rock trio, Rush, is my favorite band. Geddy Lee, the bass player, is also the singer and keyboardist; Alex Lifeson is the guitar player; Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist (writer of the words).

Rush's best-known song is Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer is the name of a famous character is American literature. Mark Twain wrote a few novels with Tom as a character who observes human nature. Tom was a boy and had a friend named Huckleberry (Huck) Finn. Huck had his own novel in which he made a raft (small flat boat) and traveled down the Mississippi River with an escaped slave.

In the introduction part of the video there is an animation with characters from South Park (a popular TV show). The characters have their own rock group called Lil' Rush. They start to play Tom Sawyer, but stop to have an argument. It's because the singer confuses Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.

In this song, Peart (the writer) thinks of himself as a "modern-day Tom Sawyer". So, this song is really about himself. I have included the lyrics (words) below the video if you would like to read them. Enjoy!






Tom Sawyer
Words: Peart    Music: Lee & Lifeson

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
He reserves the quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No, his mind is not for rent
To any God or government
Always hopeful yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets by on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day
