WONDER In the last episode we asked you to start thinking about songs for next year s Beat Festival. The theme for next year s beat is wonder. Here is the definition of wonder again: Wonder is a hard feeling to describe. It is a really good feeling that you feel when something amazes you. You might feel wonder when you see a really beautiful sunset and you think about how much you love your country and how special it is. You might feel wonder when you see your baby brother or sister for the first time and think how did this tiny little person come into the world?. We asked you to write down three things that fill you with wonder. Then we asked you to write down some times you felt amazed or full of wonder. This was to get you thinking of ideas for a song. Using your ideas decide what your song is going to be about. Is it going to tell a story about a feeling or adventure you had? Or do you want to convey a general message to people? For example, do you want to tell people how beautiful and special your country is? Or how good love makes you feel? Write in the box below what your song is going to be about. You don t have to write a lot, just a few words that make it easy to understand what your song is about. Now that you have a basic idea for your song it will make it easier to write. We will continue this in the next episode but in the meantime you can keep thinking about things you might want to include! W L3.4 Learning-how-to-learn
