Step 4: Explanation

1) Explain the meaning of the lyrics, especially some sentence structures. Also help Ss to group words in the song. For instance: He wears pants / on a school day, Blue jeans / on the weekend, something different / all year around.

What does he wear on a school day? (Pants)

Does he wear pants every day? (No, he wears blue jeans on the weekend)

What is his clothing made in winter? (wool)

Does he always wear the same clothes all year around? (No, he wears different )

Step 5: listen and learn

T: Now let’s listen to tape. You can just listen for the first time to get the tune. Then sing in a low voice with the tape.

Step 6: Practise singing

Ask the Ss themselves after having listened to the songs for several times. Then listen to the tape once again. Select one particular student who sings well to be an example or lead to sing for the other students.
