the Emotions”. In this activity, I will divide the class into 4 groups. The first

second groups will line-up a song according to the emotion of the song that
the first group gave; the same way goes repeatedly until one group will lack a
song to line-up. The group that didn’t able to line-up a song will be
eliminated.

remember this quote from Octavia E. Butler, “You don’t start out writing good stuff.
You start out writing a crap and thinking it’s a good stuff, and then gradually you get
better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”
