Ordering

Cut up the lyrics and let the students work in groups of 3 or 4. The lyrics are mixed up & students listen & place lyrics in correct order. I stop the music / video after each line or two depending on the level of the students.

|For all the truth that you made me see |

|For all the joy you brought to my life |

|I'll be forever thankful, baby |

|You're the one who held me up |

|Never let me fall |

|You're the one who saw me through through it all |

|You were my strength when I was weak |

|You were my voice when I couldn't speak |

|You were my eyes when I couldn't see |

Board grab

These words - dove; sometimes; worst; nothing do not appear in the song. I use the idea of including some of these words to make the task more difficult. I divide students into 2 teams (they love competing) and I stop the music / video after 1 or 2 sentences to give them a chance to grab the word. If they grab the wrong word they lose a point.

times truth

stood by

see joy

life wrong

Celine Dion Biography

(taken from: )

Born: 30-03-1968

Birth place: Charlemagne, Canada

Born the youngest of fourteen children in rural Canada, Celine Dion came from an extremely musical family. Her parents were both musicians and ran a small club nearby, where the whole Dion family would gather at weekends to perform for the local community.

Celine began singing on stage at the age of five, and by the time she was twelve had written a song in French that would attract the attention of personal manager Rene Angelil, later to become her husband.

Angelil was so convinced of Celine’s potential that he re-mortgaged his own house to fund her debut album. By 1983, she had become the first Canadian to receive a gold record in France.

In 1988, Celine, already a superstar in her native Quebec, won the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, and shortly after cemented her international success by releasing the soundtrack to the Disney film 'Beauty and the Beast'. This achievement earned her a number one single, an Oscar, and a Grammy.

Her hit album 'The Colour of My Love' and the single from it, 'Think Twice', topped their respective charts for five weeks running, the first time this had happened since the Beatles managed it in 1965.

Celine’s most famous track, 'My Heart Will Go On', from the motion picture 'Titanic', featured both on the album 'Titanic' and 'Let’s Talk About Love', both albums selling twenty-seven million copies each.

In 1999, Celine decided to take a break from show business to concentrate on her family, and baby Rene-Charles was born in 2001.

2002 saw the return of Celine Dion to the limelight with her album 'A New Day Has Come'. The following year, the singer committed herself to performing five nights a week for the next three years in her own Las Vegas show. The ninety-minute extravaganza is held at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in a 4000-seat arena designed especially for her show.
