Lesson Plan:

1. Background Knowledge.

• Showing a picture of the artist. Do you know him?
• He is Robbie Williams, one of the most popular singers all over the UK.
• He was born in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. England. Use the MAP, not to make them learn these cities but the most important ones. (Liverpool, Birmingham,…).
• He belonged to Take That, a successful boy band of the early 90s.

1. Omitted words: FATE, WINGS, FORSAKE. (These are probably the more complex words in the song, at least from my point of view)
2. British Culture and Society:

• Which is the most famous river in London? Thames.
• Who is the UK’s Prime Minister? Tony Blair.
• What is a lollipop, apart from a candy? They are retired people (old) who help children in their way back home after the school. They are at the School exit and stop the traffic using a sign. That is why they are called lollipop, the sign reminds children to a kind of candy.
• Into how many regions or countries is the UK divided? England, Wales, Scotland and North-Ireland.
• What is the celebration in October 31^st? Halloween.
• Which are the most famous Universities all over the UK? Oxford, Cambridge and St. Andrews.
• Who was the most Scottish James Bond ever? Sean Connery.
• Which is the capital city of North-Ireland? Belfast.

3. Games. By drawings, mimic or definitions students must guess some familiar words. Then, joining the initial letter of each word they will obtain the omitted ones.
• FATE [feather + ant + ticket + envelope] à drawing
• WINGS [wallet + ill + nun + genius + sandwich] à mimic
• FORSAKE [fast + oil + rope + salt + ad + key + elegant] à definition
4. Listen to the song for the first time and fill the gaps with the words. Do you know the meaning of them?

   I sit and wait
   Does an angel
   Contemplate my _ _ _ _
   And do they know
   The places where we go
   When we’re grey and old
   ´Cos I’ve been told
   That salvation lets their _ _ _ _ _ unfold
   So when I’m lying in my bead
   Thoughts running through my head
   And I feel that love is dead
   I’m loving angels instead
   

   And through it all
   She offers me protection
   A lot of love and affection
   Whether I’m right or wrong
   And down the waterfall
   Wherever it may take me
   I know that life won’t break me
   When I come to call
   She won’t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ me
   I’m loving angels instead

   5. Sing the song aloud with your teacher.
