Lesson based on 'Last Christmas' by Wham!
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
If you are a teacher, whether an English teacher or not, and are seeking enjoyable activities for the days before the Christmas break when students are antsy, then this lesson is perfect for you!
This lesson is focused on the beloved Christmas tune 'Last Christmas' by the famous British duo Wham! The song, in fact, has very little connection to Christmas! The focus is primarily on a relationship that didn't work out and encountering the person again a year later. Just the phrase 'Last Christmas' relates to the holiday season, signaling the climax of the relationship. Nevertheless, it continues to be chosen as the most beloved Christmas song.
The lesson offers detailed guidance for the instructor and a variety of exercises to help students practice their four skills. You can choose to use either the audio or video version of the song. Both the necessary photocopy worksheets and the solutions to the tasks are included.
