LESSON PROCEDURE
Vocabulary
- Introduce the topic of different music genres by listening to and discussing examples.
- Watch the Vocabulary movie using any additional visuals you have. Stop to ask questions, give examples, provide more context, and ask students to make connections to the words.
- Project the picture side of Flash Words onto the board or interactive white board. Students label the words they know and then flip the pictures to check if they are correct.
- Do a Connect Two activity with the new words.
Examples of sentences students might give at different levels:
a. Classical and concert are connected because some concerts are classical music.
b. Web site and download are connected because our favorite music can be downloaded from a web site.
Grammar
- To review the passive voice, print out or project the Farm Action Picture. Elicit sentences using different tenses in the passive. For example:
What chores are being done on the farm?
What chores do you think were done yesterday?
What chores will be done tomorrow?
Movie
- Show the movie Music is Downloaded (L3U1L5).
- In pairs, students watch the movie again and complete the Table.
Features
- Watch Hear It, Say It. Students may listen and repeat sentences from the movie, or record their own voices and listen back.
- Students do the remaining interactive features of the lesson: Play It, Warm Up, and You Can Do It.
