LESSON 1
I start the lesson showing photographs from The Beatles (available on Google images).
I ask questions about them. How many people can you see? Who are they? Where are they from? What's their job? What do they look like? Do you know any songs from the group?
Then we present the song "Yellow submarine"


After listening I give them a "fill in the gaps" worksheet. They listen to the song again, fill in the gaps, but now we use this other video.


Then we try to solve doubts and the general meaning of the song and translate difficult words.And finally we sing it again using the karaoke version.



At the end of the session we play a game in groups of four related to the Beatles and the song we sang. It's a trivial game asking them questions like: "What colours appear in the song?" or "Can you name three means of transport? For example: A submarine." "Can you find two verbs in Past Simple tense?"
