ACTIVITY ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

 The teacher enters the classroom and asks the children how they
are and takes the answers from students.
Introduction  The teacher asked the students these questions like "Do you like
to talk about your past memories? Do the memories you have in
(5 Minutes)
your past give direction to your present? Do you keep a diary?
(Appencide-1) What did you do on the weekend?" and takes answers.
 The teacher asked the students, "Do you know Nancy Sinatra?"
and adds: "It's normal if you don't know, because this artist was
very famous in U.S.A. in the past" and shows photo of woman
on blackboard.

 In the warm up activity, the teacher adds: "Nancy Sinatra had

some problems in her life. So, she felt very sad and even wrote a
song about her love. Would you like to learn about Nancy's life
before listening to her song?" and distributes the worksheets to
Warm-up the students.
Activity  After distributing the worksheets, the teacher tells the students
what to do: “Read Nancy's life carefully and answer the
(15 Minutes)
questions in the back. The first two questions are related to the
(Appendice-2) text and the other questions are about that you can answer with
your thoughts.”
 After the students answer the questions, they reads their answers
in the classroom.

Activity Purpose:

The aim is to give students information about the songwriter before

moving on to the song in the main activity. If the students wonder how
the song was written for what purpose, they read Nancy's life with more
curiosity and willingly answered the questions. The first two of the
questions can be found in the text of the students, but I stated that they
will write in full sentences. Other questions are related to students'
ideas, which will force children to think. Here, I added and subtracted
some of the events in Nancy's life and provided integrity for fiction.
  In the main activity, after the students have a certain idea about
Nancy's life and the song, the teacher opens Nancy's song on a
smart board.
 The teacher tells the students before she open the song on the
smart board: "If you're curious about the song, let's watch the
first clip that Nancy released. This clip may get a little boring
because it's so old. Please pay attention to the lyrics of the song."
 After the students watch the clip, the teacher asks if they like it
or not. Teacher: "If you don't like it, the present-day version of
this song, interpreted by David Guetta, might be more fun for
you. Watch the lyrics carefully in this clip because I'll distribute
the worksheet to you now. Try to fill this worksheet while you
Main Activity watch the clip. In task-1, follow the lyrics and sort the related
images by clip." and distributes the worksheets to the students.
(10-15 Minutes)  After the clip was over, the teacher asks, “Did you complete
(Appendice-3) your worksheet? If you couldn’t catch the pictures’ order, I can
open the video one more time.” and took the answers from
(Appendice-4) students.
 And adds, "They animated the lyrics of the song in the clip. In
(Appendice-5)
this animation, Nancy finally dies by Cher's bullet. We can
interpret that Cher doesn't come back and that makes Nancy
very upset."
 While the students make the worksheet, the teacher walk around
the classroom and follow the students.
 At the end of the activity, the teacher answers and checks the
questions with the students in the classroom. In Task-4, students
will verbally answer the three questions.

Activity Purpose:

Here, the students listen to the two versions of the song. So, they
became familiar with the song twice. Since the first video was old, they
could be bore. So, I chose a more fun video with lyrics appearing in the
second video. The students would be sad in the first video, but in the
second video they would have a fun feeling. This makes it easier to
follow the questions in the given worksheets. If the students want to
listen to the last video again, I can open the video again. In this activity,
students will notice the use of past tense for grammar in a context, and
answer the questions given in the task-4 with the students and make
them talk.
  In the follow-up activity, the teacher tells the students that
Nancy has a letter to Cher and asks if you are wondering. And
she distributes Nancy's letter to Cher to the students.
Follow-up
 She said to the students: "There are some gaps in Nancy's letter
Activity
and you have to shoot these blanks according to simple past
(10-15 Minutes) tense."
 As the students fill in the blanks, the teacher walks around the
(Appendice-6)
classroom. If students have questions, she will help them.
 After completing the worksheet, the students answer the
questions with the teacher.

Activity purpose:

Here, I prepared an activity in order not to go out of context again, as if

Nancy wrote a letter to Cher. In this activity, children will fill in the
blanks in the simple past tense. There are many different verbs in it.
Students are expected to complete them in accordance with the integrity
of the text. In order to draw more attention of the students, writing and
backgrounds were used in letter style.

 After the last activity is over, the teacher distributes the

homework to the students.
Homework  Teacher says "You read Nancy's letter to Cher. Now, like this
letter, write a memory you've had in the past as if you were
(Appendice-7)
writing to yourself." and adds, “Make sure the letter you are
writing is the simple past tense. And keep your letter, maybe
you'd like to read it later.”

Homework Purpose:

As for the activity in the follow-up, this time students are expected to
write letters using the simple past tense so that the assignment is also in
context. They will both make a permanent memory by remembering
their past memories and practice the simple past tense.
