Songs and Movies Based on KSSR & KBSM

Hi everyone. So it has been awhile since my last post. I do realize that, SORRY! Anyway, I've spend hours here in the library today just so I can focus on my procrastinated assignments and tutorials. Well actually they aren't procrastinated. They are queued, to be precise. Teehee! Finally, I could spare some time posting this using a laptop; courtesy of Jeeivita, a bunch of thanks to her :D So... here it is!

(Tutorial 4)

Question: Please compile a list of songs and movies can that are related to the themes in KSSR and KBSM

So we are asked to list down a few movies and songs that are relevant to the themes based on KSSR and KBSM syllabus that can be used for educational purposes. These are some of the examples that we can use to integrate in our learning session. The themes used are mostly classified under the value of friendship, family and nature.

MOVIES	SONGS
Horton Hears A Who?	Freedom – Maher Zain
The Lorax	I Have Confidence in Me – The Sound Of Music
Wall-E	If We Hold on Together – The Land Before Time
Madeline	I Will Be There For You – Jessica Andrews
Race to Witch Mountain	Colours of The Wind – Vanessa Williams
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius	Y.M.C.A – Village People

Treasure Planet	Dream – Priscilla Ahn
Nim’s Island	When You Grow Up – Priscilla Ahn
The Wild Thornberrys Movie	We Are Family – The Corrs
Pocahontas	Let’s Go Fly A Kite – Mary Poppins
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs	At Your Side – The Corrs

The Sisterhood Of TheTravelling Pants	The Leaves on the Trees – Rachel Rambach
Game Plan	The Rain Forest Song – J. P. Taylor
Bee Movie	Getcha Head in The Game – Zac Efron from HSM
Holes	The Freedom Song – Jason Mraz

They are all great songs and movies aren't they and I am pretty sure some of you guys probably had never even heard of some of the names before. I suggest you to watch or listen to them, or read (some are based from great best-selling novels). Personally, I think those names that I've listed down here are the great ones. Horton Hears A Who tells how important it is to appreciate lives of others even if they are as tiny as a spec of dust, while Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will help the students to understand the various types of weather and learn safety tips for each type of severe weather. This lesson will also help students to understand how people depend on their environment and how movement of people could bring changes to the environment and surrounding in terms of problem solving. As for the songs, I think most that I weigh on here is about self-esteem and motivations. While others are about family and friends relation.
