My Hero: Michael Jackson — Music, Message, and Philanthropy
Our journey with the 12th-grade students of Dimitrie Cantemir Lyceum has begun!
During Week 1 — “The Boy from Gary, Indiana”, we explored Michael Jackson’s childhood, his family, his early musical journey, and the challenges he faced growing up in the spotlight. We reflected on how childhood experiences can shape a person’s life, dreams, and future.
In Week 2 — „Music with a Mission”, we turned to his songs and began exploring them from a linguistic perspective. Through lyrics, vocabulary, metaphors, repetition, and other stylistic devices, our students discovered how music can communicate emotions, tell stories, and convey powerful messages.
This project is more than learning about a global music icon. It is an opportunity to develop English language skills, think critically, discuss important human values, and discover the deeper meaning behind words.
Stay tuned as we continue exploring Michael Jackson’s music, message, and legacy!
