A Song That Tells a Story

Unit 2 "The Chain of Love" in Book 3 is a touching story. Though it's a self-study lesson, I still had students read it in class, in the hope that they bear the idea of love in mind all their life.

First, the students sat back and read the story silently. Next, I handed out the lyrics of the song "The Chain of Love" with some words missing. Since the song was written based on the story, the students could figure out most of the missing words if they knew what the story is about. Then the students discussed in groups. Finally, they listened to the song to see if they got the right words.

The following is the song sung by Clay Walker. It's amazing that someone could have written this song to tell such a touching story.

 



I have to thank Julie (陳育萱老師) and Chris (林詠梅老師) for sharing this song.
