Songs and movies..

I'm looking at my lecturer's blog, Now Educate and saw the lists of things that we should have and post in our blog. Oh ya! I forgot about the videos, movies, and songs that can be used to students for teaching writing! And this was too late, but I hope what I post here are usable for me and others one fine day. Better late than never.~

1. Monsters, Inc.

Mike and Sulley as they attempt to protect a little girl from the clutches of an evil fellow monster named Randall Boggs, with the very real bond between the two buddies ensuring that we can’t help but root for them to succeed in their efforts. (The fact that they’re both monsters becomes irrelevant almost immediately.)

2. Au Revoir Les Enfants

An autobiographical account of a boy's first friendship - and his discovery of the real world. Set in a Catholic boarding school during the German occupation of France, this is the powerful story of Julien Quentin, a sensitive, headstrong 12-year-old boy who befriends the new student in his class. The boy sees differently than the others. But Julien is intrigued and the two begin a shaky friendship. One day, by accident, Julien learns of a secret that will change the young boys' lives forever

3. Toy Story

Woody is Andy's favourite toy, an old cowboy doll with a head full of stuffing and a heart of gold. But one fateful birthday sees the arrival of Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger and potential rival for the hallowed position of Favourite Toy. Both movies tell simple, yet powerfully real tales. Expressed with extraordinary care and skill in animation, the films capture the importance and fragility of true friendship with eye-popping visuals, spirited laughs and lovable characters.

4. Up

Carl Fredricksen is concerned only with transporting his rickety old house to the edge of a cliff in South America. His solitary plans are foiled after an eager Wilderness Explorer named Russell stows away on his journey, and it’s not long before Carl becomes a reluctant father figure to the exuberant little boy. This is despite the fact that Carl initially wants nothing to do with Russell, although, as the movie unfolds, it becomes clear that Carl needs Russell just as much as Russell needs Carl – as the chubby adolescent teaches Asner’s prickly character that experiences and adventures are much more gratifying when you have someone to share them with.
