I'VE BEEN WAITING (page 29)

In this activity I would put the students in groups because in, that way, they can discuss in English and practice the speaking skill. I will hand out one photocopy for each group.

1. They have three different pictures, so they have to imagine what do they think the song is about? So, firstly, they have to put the pictures in order.
2. Then, he must think about the main character and the things that it happens to him. 

3. At in the end, students will listen the song and they will out the lines in order:

• We've been going out dancing almost every night.
• I've been cursing, I've been screaming.
• Maybe she's stood me up.
• I've been waiting for two hours standing here alone.
• It's been raining all the time and my hair is wet.
• I thought she was mine, all mine.
• Now the only thing to do is go back home.
• I've been seeing her for over two weeks now.
• I thought everything was fine.
• I 've been waiting for an hour and she's not here yet.
• I've been trying to call her on the phone.
• Cause for two weeks I 've been dreaming.
• Now I feel fed up.

MY OWN ACTIVITY

We are going to do an activity with a song. We will illustrate the students some pictures of the song and they have to discuss about the content. Then, we will show a video and they can sing with it, because it is the same structure all time so it is easy for them to remember and repeat.

Five little ducks

Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only four little ducks came back.
