Fortune Teller

This Powerpoint presents a song written by John Lennon "Imagine" and can help teachers in many ways when teaching vocabulary, parts of speach, making sentences, discussions. It is appropriate for any level: elementary, with the presentation of vocabulary with flashcards, worksheets with "filling in the blanks and listening" and other inumerous activities. At the intermediate, it is very useful for the teaching of parts of speech, with the help of the words in the song, uses of expressions like "I wonder if...","I hope..." and many others. And at an advanced level, work in groups, in pairs, with the message contained in the song, using the words that are connected to the subject: "come and join us", "nothing to kill or die for", "living in peace" and more. I strongly recommend presenting this Powerpoint at the end of the activities, both for checking exercises done before it, as well as enjoying this beautiful song. I hope you enjoy it, too!!!
