Born on March 1,
1994, in London, Ontario, Canada, Justin Bieber was raised by a single mom in
the small town of Stratford. Bieber, whose debut album, My World, hit
stores in November 2009, is a true overnight success, having gone from an
unknown, untrained singer whose mother posted YouTube clips of her boy
performing, to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal, all in just two
years.
Bieber always had
an interest in music. His mother gave him a drum kit for his second birthday
and, as he tells it, he was "basically banging on everything I could get
my hands on."
But it was an
obscure talent contest in his hometown, in which the 12-year-old Bieber
finished second that put him on the road to superstardom. As a way to share his
singing with family, Justin and his mom began posting clips of Bieber
performing covers of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Ne-Yo on YouTube.
Within months,
Justin was an Internet sensation, with a large following of fans, and an eager
manager arranging for the teenager to fly to Atlanta to consider a record deal.
There, Bieber had a chance meeting with Usher, who eventually signed the young
singer to a contract.

Hi Maria,
ResponderEliminarThanks for the comment you wrote on my blog. I like very much the content of your blog, because I think you have been able to propose interesting activities. Like Jeremy says, your female students will be very interested on the Justin Bieber activity you added...
By the way, I´d like to ask you if you allow me to have a link to your blog on my blog.

Hello Maria,
ResponderEliminarI have seen your blog and I like specially this activity. I'm teaching to 5th of primary and my students love everything related to Justin Bieber. I think that when students work with something which motivates them, they work harder and they try to do their best.
Thank you for sharing your activities with us.

Good night María,
ResponderEliminarthank you for giving us your link and congratulations for the blog.
I think you have had a fantastic idea with your reading activity. Justin Bieber is a person you must know when you interact with children even primary pupils know details about his life.
A friend of my niece, who is six years old now, was explainig to me an accident that occurred at one of his concerts. That gives an idea of how appealing for pupils this activity is.
Working comprehension with easy texts is good because children do not read as much as we would like so improving this skill is a wise option we must take into account.
Reading in English is quite important and it will give them new vocabulary that with the time will improve their speaking skills too.
I like the format you have choosen for the blog, this shelves that look like a libray. I have read you were trying different options, something I did too, your final option is nice.
Congratulations again María
