Class plan: Why is it so good to be a man?

Level: Basic

Ask your students to make a list about the positive aspects about being a man. Ask them to compare their answers. Do the same about being a woman.

Ask the girls if they would like to be boys and vice versa. Work on improving fluency by asking them to convince each other. Move on to the listening part: http://www.elllo.org/english/0851/T897-Paul-Men.htm

Ask them to compare their answers to the guy´s answers. Do they agree with his point of view? Work on the listening handout.

Pronunciation: Ask them to pronounce man x men. What´s the difference between them?

Work on this difference. To illustrate your class go to: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/

After showing them the difference, try this exercise: http://www.manythings.org/b/e/4435

BTW: This woman is AMAZING! http://rachelsenglish.com/

To finish it in great style, try this Shania´s song. “Man I feel like a woman”. You can ask them to write the simple present verbs, or you can make a fill in the blanks handout.
