COURSE: LETTERS / ENGLISH LANGUAGE
LETTERS FACULTY
SUBJECT: Intermediary English II
TEACHER: Ciléia Menezes
STUDENT: Rosália de Oliveira Soares - 0612001304

THEME:
How to teach the simple future using a music.

Teaching the simple future in English is easier than Portuguese (for the absence of verbal suffix) but it will become a boring learning if the teacher to exaggerate in the repetition of the structures. So this work aims to make this learning an interesting task with music.

OBJECTIVE:
This project has as objective the recognizing of the simple future structures and how to do sentences using the contracted forms.

METHODOLOGY:
1st step:
• Present the subject to the class explaining the three (3) structures (affirmative, negative and interrogative);
• Show how to do contractions between the subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and the auxiliary verb (will);

2nd step:
• Give to the students the letter of the selected music;
• Explain that they must listen to the music and check if there are sentences in the future tense in each strophe;
• Play the music once (the students listen to the music and mark the strophes which there are the simple future);
• Play the music again (the students sing).

3rd step:
• The students complete a chart with the sentences of the music that are written with or without contracted forms;
• After that they rewrite these sentences composing the contraction or unmake them according each case.

4th step:
• The teacher can correct the task on board or ask to the students change the papers (in pairs) and they correct the task of some friend.

There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you, I would never leave you alone.

Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you cryin'

live forever, knowin' together
That we did it all for the glory of love

Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away.

TASK 1: Listen to the music and check if there are sentences in the simple future in each strophe.
TASK 2: The music “Glory of Love” has 5 sentences in the simple future. Some of them were written without contraction between the pronoun and the auxiliary verb “will”. Other phrases present this contraction. Complete the chart writing these sentences in the correct side (one in each line). After that, rewrite them according the below instructions:
a) If the sentence has a contraction, rewrite it without this contraction of the other side.
b) If the sentence doesn’t have a contraction, rewrite it using the contracted form.
