Dear Teacher,
Many of you have returned to classroom teaching, I hope the transition is going well.
February’s New Downloadable Worksheets
John Keats – When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be
The 23rd February is the 200th anniversary of the death of English Romantic Poet John Keats. ELT guru Roy Boardman has prepared a worksheet on Keats’ sonnet which explores the fear of death, based on a musical version by John Webster. Roy sends a free fortnightly English Update newsletter to teachers – you can sign up at elt@boardman.it.
Keats famously wrote his own epitaph – you can hear a lovely musical interpretation of this here.
Undivided – Tim McGraw & Tyler Hubbard
This was performed for the first time on 20th January as part of USA President Joe Biden’s inauguration celebrations and is a call for unity. Regular contributor Maria Gulczynska, Ancona, has prepared a worksheet focussing on vocabulary, as well as a stepsheet for fans of line dancing!
Also, Jennifer Lopez performed ‘This Land Is Your Land’ at the ceremony, omitting the two original verses.
