LEVANTARSE = to get up (out of bed)
...me levanto...nos levantamos

Fill out your table with the Activity #, the schedule (days/times/frequency), the duration (if applicable), and the activity (the sentence you wrote in spanish).

間違えて 戸惑って 悩んでるお前いい EI!
Upside down the game is on!
塞ぎこんだような かすれた声
言葉なんかおきざりして 連れだした
オッケーサイン 肩 We don’t mind!
思い馳せるべき Imagined future
迷いながら流離いながら 終わりない道
退くことなく真っ直ぐ 息切らし走ろう 
夢見る限り それ無限大 Oh… so on we go! 
Upside down, we go inside out 
それこそ the key of life
間違えて 戸惑って 悩んでるお前いい EI!
Upside down the game is on!
Put your hands in the air
Wave it like you just don't care
Put your hands in the air
Wave it like you just don't care...

知ったかぶらないで 感じてたい wonder and awe
見たことない景色 追い求めてく
Good and the bad 守らなきゃいけないもの増え
My way, your way
Bounce up braddah and just be bold… we won’t be sold!
迷いながら流離いながら 悔しい時こそ
退くことなく真っ直ぐ 拳 胸あてろ

For your chromebook lab you will create a poster or book with all the lyrics. 


To do this you will need Chrome with the "Rikai-kun" extension, or Firefox with the "Rikai-sama" add-on/extension installed.

JP1: You need all the lyrics written in kana (Hiragana and Katakana), and to have each word separated by a symbol of some sort: a star, an asterisk, a smiley face -- anything but an actual space " ". Your poster or book must be 'ruled' so that your lines are even and consistent.

JP2: You need all the lyrics written in Kanji with Furigana. Your poster or book must be 'ruled' and you must leave one line for furigana above each kana/kanji line.

Check your furigana, both on your own and with me, before starting your final product:
