Congratulations mate! What an amazing activity! I think that you hit the nail on the head with this activity. It is very motivating because it is possible to relate the knowledge the students have of the English subject with their musical tastes. It is not the same to listen on song from the typical CDs which the publishers include in the book than listening one Robbie Williams’ song.
ResponderEliminarWell done!! I think it is a very good activity to learn English. Children like song and they know Robbie Williams so they will pay attention and they will practise listening.
ResponderEliminarHello Miriam, congratulations for your new blog. I think you have done your best in this task, because the song is well-known, and the children could find it motivating to do a "fill-in the gap" activity with a pop song. You have selected the proper words to be deleted. Anyway, I would like to give you and advice: as teachers, we need to know which content and skill are we going to work with the activity, so it would be great if you could give more information in the headlines.
ResponderEliminarThanks for sharing your work.

Hello,
ResponderEliminarThis activity you've shared with us, is very intuitive and will help improve vocabulary. The presentation is very good. Singing, apart from learning, motivates us. I still remember a song I learned as a child in English. It works listening skills, oral skills as well.
Thanks for sharing with us.
A greeting.
