I still haven't found what I'm looking for - U2

Instructions

1. You are going to watch a videoclip of a song by U2. Then you have to answer three questions.
   Read the questions first, then watch the videoclip.
   
   
   1. Are the song lyrics easy to understand?
      
      
   2. What do you think the song is about? Choose an option:
      
      a) A woman the singer loves
      b) The singer's religious beliefs
      c) The singer's life story
      
      
   3. Which do you think are the most important verses to understand what the singer is trying to say? Copy the verse numbers in the lyrics in your notebook.
      
   
   
2. Now watch the videoclip. If the connection is too slow, try downloading an .mp3 recording and then listen to it.
   You can read the lyrics at the same time. You can also read the lyrics in Spanish if necessary.
   
   
3. Now answer the three questions in your notebook.
   
   
4. Now read some more opinions about the song from different people.

5. Has your own opinion changed? Get in groups of three to five students and compare your answers to each of the questions. Take notes of the general opinion (or opinions) in your group.
   
   
6. Write an article for the school magazine with your group's opinion about the song and the activity that we did today.
