Description

In this lesson, students will be performing a listening activity in the context of a love triangle. They will listen to "Can't Buy Me Love" from the Beatles following a pre-listening task where they will be introduced to new vocabulary and the modal verb can. They will be thinking about love and money and the role of these in a relationship as part of a love triangle story. After listening to the song a few times, they will be asked to fill in gaps provided in the text of the lyrics (with the words love, money, can't, buy, care, too much). Later, there will be a controlled speaking exercise where the students can practice their new modal verb.
