2. STEP-BY-STEP LESSON PLAN
Step 1 (7 min)
Challenge your students to see How many words they can form from
HALLOWEEN!
Give them 2 - 3 min to see who can find more!
songactivityfactory.com
The minimum is three-letter words. Example: the word NO is not acceptable
because it only has 2 letters.
The word NONE is not acceptable because it uses two letters N, and
Halloween has only one letter N.
RULES:
HALLOWEEN (Here are some words I found myself!)
Hello, One, Owe, Won, Hall, Halo, Low, All, Hole, Whole, New, Now, When, Who,
How, Hen, Alone, Well, Wall, Hell, Wane, Allow, Own, Ale, Lane, Law, Wheel, Eel,
heel
Step 2 (5 min)
GENIALLY PRESENTATION LINK
Slide 01. Tell your students they are going to work with videos and song extracts.
Have students describe the videos.
Step 3 (10 min)
Slide 01. Video match.
Tell them to imagine they are video editors and their task is to choose 3 different
songs for three videos. This part is to be done individually.
Play each song 2 or 3 times, and give them time to make their choices.
Step 4 (10 min)
Explaining their choices. Pair work (breakout rooms):
In pairs, students share their choices and their reasons. After some time, have the
pairs share their differences in the main room.
Step 5 (10 - 15 min)
Lyrics and writing a short narrative.
Slide 02. Have students read the lyrics of the three song extracts. Help them with
the vocabulary.
Divide the class into trios (breakout rooms). Now, students are going to write a
short narrative which connects the three videos, in any order they want. They
must also use words and sentences from the song extracts in their narrative (slide
2). Give them 10 – 15 min to do that.
