TIPS FOR TEACHERS

1. Pre-teach the vocabulary on appearance in the next following slides.

2. Print out the slides with the lyrics and cut them up along the dotted lines.

3. Give each student a cut-up copy of the lyrics.

4. Play the song once (if you play it on YouTube, make sure the video doesn’t have lyrics displayed).

TIPS FOR TEACHERS

5. As the students listen to the song for the first time, they arrange the lyrics in order and fill in the gaps with missing words/phrases.

6. Play the song for the second time to allow the students to check their answers and to complete the gaps they have missed during the first listening.

7. As a follow-up activity, you can have a quiz on the words and phrases that the students had to use in order to fill in the gaps.
