In the first place students suggest a song they like dealing with environmental issues. They share the title and the text .
Using tricider, students then vote for their favourite songs among the suggestions. They then choose what they think is the most meaningful line in the song. In groups they then write a new text starting with the chosen line.
Here you can see the songs the students suggest :

Here is their text :
What about sun rise
what about rain...
Why so much pollution on the Earth?
Why so much rubbish on the Earth?
why so little growth?
why so much ignorance?
Because the likes is more important than education
What is with the flowers? What is with the forest?
This is what we should save.
What is with the rivers, what is with the lakes?
This is what we shouldn't pollute.
The earth is dying..
Crushed by the pollution
Pollution crushes animals and plants
We must save it.
