3rd Yr group is working about animals and they have to prepare oral presentations about their favourite animals and their most characteristic features.
What best that a funny song to finish the lesson?????
After watching the video, students maybe will want to record a similar video in different disguises!!!!
I'm sure many of you've heard about FLUENCY MC, because I often use some of his videos in our classroom.
Anyway, let me tell you that he's an English teacher, but a very creative English one. He raps English grammar and vocabulary lessons, and also goes around the world showing what he does.
Yesterday I watched one of his latest videos and creations, and I thought at once, that I have to show it to my students.
It's about the question of REFUGEES and how they're being treated by different countries' governments. The original poem was written by Brian Bilston, who is very famous on Twitter.

There're some activities that you can do with this rap song:
Read the poem how it's indicated in the video.
Work with unknown words.
Discuss about the topic, the poem style and the social impact of it.
Sing the rap song.
Now, let's watch the video:

A GOOD FILM FOR THESE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
I love this film, so I thought my students would like to watch it in English last days before Christmas.
I've found the following website with many activities about the film
Maybe one of his most famous song is "Thriller", a 13-minute music video that is ideal for Halloween.
Let's watch the first part of the video, and try to understand the dialogue on it.
Now, watch the complete video and do the following activities (orally):
1. Fill in the blanks with the missing words:
It's close to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your _ _ _ _ _
You _ _ _ to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you _ _ _ _ _ between the eyes
You're paralyzed
2. Reorder the chorus!
____ 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
____ You're fighting for life inside a killer, thriller tonight
____ And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
____ You know it's thriller, thriller night
3. Choose the right word:
You hear a door / floor slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the fun / sun
You broke / closeyour eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you tear / hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time / life
4. Add the missing words:
Darkness falls across __________ The midnite hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search___________ To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood And whosoever shall be found Without the _______ for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's _______ The foulest stench is in the air The _______of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your _________ And though you fight to stay alive Your ________starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The _______of the thriller Can you dig it?!
