In The Words of Brandy
Submitted by: Patrick Bickford Borrowed or inspired from: Amy Brown Edited by: Fiona Steele
Brief Outline: This is a three-step activity emcompassing a fill-in-the-blank of Brandy’s "Have You Ever?", practice of forming past participle questions and finishing with the students asking both teachers strategic questions to illicit specific questions. Materials Needed:
- Brandy’s "Have You Ever?". The picture to the right has a link.
- Brandy Lyrics Worksheet - InTheWordsofBrandy
- Teacher Interview Worksheet - InTheWordsofBrandy1
Detailed Explanation:
- Song:
- Start by writing the verbs used in Brandy’s song on the board and have the students tell you the past participle.
- Then, give each student a copy of the lyrics (InTheWordsofBrandy) and have them listen to the song. While they are listening, they must write either the past participle or the normal form of the verb.
- Play the song 2-3 times.
Coupon Game: A fter making small groups, each group takes turns sitting at a line of desks located in the back of the classroom and answering questions for 1-2 minutes, after which, the teams rotate and the activity continues. - When a student, other than the team sitting in the back of the room, has formed a “have you ever ~ ?” question, they go and ask any member seated at the line of desks at the back of the room.
- If the answer is “Yes, I have,” the students receive a pink paper. If it is “No,” they receive a blue paper.
- It is best if one teacher stands with the answering students and the other goes around the groups and helps them think of questions.
- Once the group has received 3 pink and 3 blue papers, they can move to the final step of this activity, the teacher interview activity.
- The last group to move to the teacher interview activity, can instead ask the ALT/JTE questions since there won't be any other team to ask.
- Teacher Interview:
- Students have to create and write 6 questions for the ALT (see InTheWordsofBrandy1). Three questions must illicit “yes” answers, and three must illict “no” answers.
- Once they have written their questions, they can ask the ALT/JTE to ensure the answer matches.
Tips or Cautions: - Because of the multiple activities, it is easy to lose control of the classroom, so keep this in mind before you start this activity.
