tongue twisters and rhyme - WHY LEARN ENGLISH
I�ve used this for a performance with my level 3 group who wanted to perform, but hated siging - it�s a cool rhythmic rhyme about why learn English and duelling with tongue twisters. We finished off by duelling with the audience, because they didn�t want to sing (cool boys, you know), but the response was wonderful. It might come in handy, and it�s...

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD - lyrics detectives
This is a ws based on listening to Natasha Bedingfield�s 2 songs. It�s a fill-in and a synonyms� fill-in, and her songs are not bad listening practice, because she sings very clearly and kids (esp teenagers) like the songs. I even used Soulmate as a dictation later on and they liked doing it like that (although, for a singing dictation, I would alw...
