I, I was crazy about you

And I, lost what I had and now you’re gone

You, you always meant the world to me
You, you never wanted much you see
And you, you changed my life but now you gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, now you’re gone

Your photograph brings back sweet memories
Something about you I don't know what it is
Your face so young the days so long
But now, you’re gone

In my heart you were the one
But now, you’re gone

Yeah now, now your gone
But now, you’re gone

Teacher’s notes

1. In the beginning of the lesson practice reading and pronunciation. It is better touse the familiar words with letters oo, qu, a (e. g. book, look, cook, queen, back, black etc).

2. Ask students to name as many animals as they can (you may make a sort of a auction: the one who says the last word is a winner). Now you may play a song and ask students how many animals are mentioned. What are they?

3. Now give out the worksheets and let your students do ex. 1. Check the answers.

4. While listening the students should complete the second exercise.

5. Follow up 1. If you have time practice more animals and sound with the help of this song structure. Follow up 2. Finishing studying animals you may work on a project and create some unusual animals. Students can present their animals using this tune.
