begins
the

if
someone

Assessment:
Grade
learners
homework.
See
if

all
the
second

sentences
in
their
selected
songs,
as
well
as
developed
correct

Caveats
and
Options:
Larger
class
size-
Have
students
work
individual
or
in
pairs
and
turn
in
lyrics
to
be
reviewed
by
teacher
rather
than
assessed
as
a
class.
Have
students
work
in
larger
groups
and
create
multiple
lyrics
as
a
group
and
then
compare
them
as
a
class
without
voting.
Shorter
class
period-
Learners
can
simply
write
their
lyrics
but
not
review
them
as
a
class.
Skip
the
online
comparison
of
the
first
and
second
conditional
and
go

exercise.
