Making a worksheet of Good Morning Captain. Got a class who need more difficult listening activities, and will be into it. Gap fill of the song, vocab activity with quotes from a review of the album using vocab like “simmering unease”, then they have to do some creative writing of what they think the story of the song is. They like activities like that.
It’s 14-17 year olds from various countries who are super-keen on English and want to come to university here in future, so they’re a fun bunch to teach. Yesterday we did a lesson about Under Milk Wood (to cover the Welsh theme on the list) with the audio of Richard Burton doing the intro. They then had an roleplay/speed-dating game playing characters from the play. They collectively arranged to bump several characters off and sell the meat to the butcher to cover their tracks, Royston Vasey Special Meat style.
