Song

I found an already made listening by Adele and her now very popular song Hello.
Aim: listening skills, understanding, motivation
Time: 20-30 minutes (listening and checking)
Tools: worksheet, online access

Give each student a worksheet and explain that there are many task. They are not only simply fill in the missing words, they also must connect parts, number, choose a correct word etc. The song is quite slow and very popular between teenage so it would be appropriate for 7th-9th grade.
