April’s New Downloadable Worksheets

We Shall Overcome – Pete Seeger
Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the 4th April, 50 years ago. This song was the theme of the Civil Rights Movement and Dr. King quoted from it in his final sermon. The worksheet was submitted by regular contributor Mena Bianco from Naples, who also wrote the worksheet for Pride (In the Name of Love)/MLK, U2’s songs dedicated to Dr. King.

Locked Away – R. City feat. Adam Levine (Map It version)
Map It! is a supplementary text for the 2018 course book Twenty-One for the lower secondary school, published by De Agostini Scuola, with the song activities written by Tune Into English. This lesson is not featured in the text and is exclusive to this site.
