This great activity was provided by an Argentinean teacher, Fernanda Delgado. It is a great contribution. I am sure my readers will simply love it. Send us more, Fernanda!
I’m a teacher at the Oak House, Cipolletti. I founded a school for toddlers called Tiny School, which was very successful.Then I sold it.
I enjoy teaching because I can match my love for English with my love for movies and songs to create a useful activity which may enable the students to achieve their goals (or mine) and also make them engaged with the learning process.
Nowadays I am teaching young adults at Prefectura Naval Argentina and in my new place (Oak House)I. Make a list of activities you usually do.

VI. Speak about roles the women and men in the segment perform. Are they the same or different from our country? Is there anything you want to point out?
VII. Read the passage of the song “I’m the Luckiest” and tell me why believes so.
I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles
And falls brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face
Now I see it every day
And I know[Chorus] That I am
I am, I am, the luckiest
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles
And falls brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face
Now I see it every day
And I know[Chorus] That I am
I am, I am, the luckiest

A very good idea. It's a kind of immersion in the language. Additionally, you can even begin to think in English, which allows us to quickly find our own weaknesses.
I agree with you, Michael. Fernanda's activity is really effective.
