By Jane Cabrera

1. Reading "Old Madonald had a farm." by Jane Cabrera. As we know, this is a song as well, so we can hear first the song, what is easier for infants, and then read or tell the story.
2. When we have a class with a low English level, we can only sing that song that I´ve found in the webpage "youtube.com".

Old Macdonald had a farm.

Design a listening activity: before - while - after.

BEFORE-ACTIVITY:

Play twister game. We can work body and colours. Later, the teacher can add more difficulty to the game in order to use more than one part of the body. Also, if they work in groups and together, they have to put as many parts of their bodies as theacher orders in one unique colour.

It´s not the original one, that goes with the activities.

WHILE-ACTIVITY:

We plan this activity, talking from the point of wiev of the waitress. All the costumers are going to be describe.

• "I have heard, that Bangass, always know what happen around them, that maybe, because in their heads they only a big, big eye!"
