Mad Men 1.1 Oral comprehension
A short during-and-after comprehension worksheet to go with the first episode of the fabulous "Mad Men" TV series. The idea is to help students with general comprehension and pick up on a few key ideas and expressions. I put the subtitles on, and if the class gets really interested, we watch again later without the subtitles. Enjoy!

Rosa sat song for Obama
This worksheet accompanies the song "Rosa sat" written for Obama�s election, and you can find the song and video on youtube. I usually just put the names on the board first (Rosa - Martin -Obama) and see what the students can imagine, then help them create the chorus of the song, then watch the video, then give them the worksheet.
Hope you enjoy ...

Strange Fruit by B Holiday
This is the wonderful song "Strange Fruit" which I�ve made with blanks for a listening comprehension exrcise I include in my theme on US Civil Rights. You can download the song on YouTube, or you can do it as a poem which students will read out to the class as a speaking/listening exrcise. In any case, it�s a haungtingly great song!
