If you're looking for a fun, uplifting English listening lesson for your students to do that gets away from the typical 'text book' or 'exam listening', this is a fantastic lesson to do with your class. We're using Bob Marley's famous song Three Little Birds. This lesson is adaptable to most levels from white belt to purple belt students. Lesson Plan
· Answer the pre-listening questions (4-6 minutes) · Choose some answers and work with building correct sentences on the board. (3-5 minutes) · Label the vocabulary that they see in the pictures. Listening· Listen one time and do the matching. · Listen a second time and finish the matching. (if necessary) · Do any of the 3 options for the listening activity. Higher level classes might do all three. Post Listening· Review and check the answers. Make language corrections in their exercises. · Write a sentence with one new expression from today’s lesson. Good luck! Let me know how it works for you and if you have any special touches that I can try in my classes: Pro Tips:- Each time you play the song should have a task directly related to it for the students to perform. - Play the song as many times as necessary for the students to do the task (but not too many to become bored). - Play the song WITHOUT showing the lyrics the first couple times. - Higher level students can focus more on pronunciation and rhythm of combining words. Easter Egg LessonsEncouragement - Their English time with you will have good vibes and feelings with this lesson to be encouraged to do more. Pronunciation - Have them follow the pronunciation as it says in the song (ex. gonna be alright) What else can you find? Student WorksheetPre-Listening - Answer these questions before we listen
