11. CONSIDERATIONS AND DRAWBACKS METHODOLOGY INCORRECT Grammar AND slang It could be overwhelming: TOO MANY WORDS Not every one likes all the songs The teacher ought to know the lyrics It takes time for students to react Do not take the fun away from the song

12. RESOURCES Ations by Shel Silverstein If we meet and I say, "Hi," That's a salutation. If you ask me how I feel, That's consideration. If we stop and talk a while, That's a conversation. If we understand each other, That's communication. If we argue, scream and fight, That's an altercation. If later we apologize, That's reconciliation. If we help each other home, That's a cooperation. And all these actions added up Make Civilization. (And if I say this is a wonderful poem, Is that exaggeration?)
