I am a primary homeroom teacher who currently teaches in Japan. I have previously taught in England, Korea and Thailand. I have also taught ESL/ELL to primary, middle and high school students. All my materials were written by me and were uploaded as I feel they are worth sharing. I have written a few books (not about teaching) - feel free to check them out (they are cheap!) - Steve Tully - They Say you Can't Judge Me, Work Like an Egyptian, and The Satanic Nurses.

Nina Simone - Listening/discussion activity

A great song from the legend that is Nina Simone. This could be used as a simple listening activity, ideal for music class or practising English listening skills. This comes with an answer sheet for your convenience. The themes covered in the song - racial prejudice, the fight for racial equality, US history, the civil rights movement, the change in language, etc - mean it would be a greater starter to deeper discussions. #blackhistory #civilrights #genderequality #racism #racialequality #socialjustice #blm

Two wonderful songs sang by Nina Simone - both related to black history month and issues of discrimination, racism and inequality. One song - Missisippi Goddam - was very controversial for the time. The lyrics express her anger, especially at recent atrocities committed against black people in some Southern states. at the time. To be free is a classic expressing the desire to have freedom and equality. Both songs allow for listening activities before a wider discussion. These songs and the themes raised in the lyrics are ideal for Black History Month discussions and music and history lessons.
