This reminds me to the first lesson of this subject. The summer had just finished, another year began (last year in the university). It was the beginning of the end. That moment seems so near and jet so far to me. We started that class in a similar way that some people begin their daily life, with a song. A song with a strong and deep message. This melody has sound in my mind during these last weeks (like a mantra) and has given and gives me strength to work hard every day.  It was a fantastic idea to present the subject with that song that gave us so much important ideas in just 3 minutes.

Can you remember that moment? Surely, this video refreshes your memory.

At first sight, through that song, we could deduce that along the subject we were going to have fun while learning new important contents. Secondly, and as a consequence of the first idea, we could have an approach about what the subject was going to deal with, that is children literature elements such as songs, poetry, theatre… Sometimes, the best way to introduce new contents is not based on talk about it, but to show examples.

And I feel alright, and we’ll feel alright 
Cause we’ll work it out, yeah we’ll work it out 

Furthermore, the song transmitted us, that we should work hard, but the teacher was going to be with us, during the whole learning process, that we should not feel alone. There would be someone who wanted to encourage and to support us. This idea can be applied  also to these last years. Surely, all of us have a special person who supported him during the best and worst moments.

I’ll be your light, your match, your burning sun 
I’ll be the bright, in black, that’s making you run
I’ll be your ghost, your game, your stadium
I’ll be your fifty thousand clapping like one 

Finally, we, as future teachers, should understand the song message as a philosophy of education. Apart from the best methodologies, resources, materials… we need something much more important, vocation. We should work really hard on this till the love runs out.

I’ll be doing this, if you ever doubt
Till the love runs out, ’til the love runs out

“Love Runs Out” Lyrics

As you can see, this song it quite significant for me. I would love to know your opinion in this topic: Did you feel the same in that lesson? Are there other important songs about your learning experience? Which ones? Which would be your BSO of this moment/subject/term/degree?

The more, the better
