Lesson PlanAlejandra de Antoni2009Pre-listening (5 min): the teacher plays only the first two lines and asks thestudents if they can imagine what the song is about and asks them toprovide some ideas.While-listening – Global – (5 min): students listen to the song once andcheck their predictions.While-listening – Specific – (3 min): students are given a printed copy of thelyrics but with some words missing. The students listen to the song again tocomplete it. For the students to find it easier to complete the song, they willbe given the missing words but with scrambled letters and, of course, not inthe order in which they appear in the song. They have to unscramble theletters and then they listen to the song for the second time.Post-listening (2 min): finally, the students are asked why they think thewriter of the song decided to use “Should.”
