SHAPE OF MY HEART                      by STING             He deals the cards as a meditation             And those he plays never suspect             He doesn't play for the money he wins             He doesn't play for respect             He deals the cards to find the answer             The sacred geometry of chance             The hidden law of a probable outcome             The numbers lead a dance             I know that the spades are swords of a soldier             I know that the clubs are weapons of war             I know that diamonds mean money for this art             But that's not the shape of my heart             He may play the jack of diamonds             He may lay the queen of spades             He may conceal a king in his hand             While the memory of it fades            ACTIVITY 1            The sts listen to the song two times without doing anything  They sit still and have fun of it closing their eyes.           ACTIVITY 2            Some questions are asked to understand whether the students  have got an overall knowledge about the poem and to motivate            them to the song            *Did you like the song?            *What is the man in the song doing?            *Do you like playing cards?            ACTIVITY 3            Fill in the blanks.They listen to the song one more time and  fill in the blanks.At the same time we make a review of  simple present               tense here.            He_____the cards as a meditation            And those he _____never _______            He _______for the money he_____            He _______for respect            He _______the cards to______ the answer            The sacred geometry of chance            The hidden law of a probable outcome            The numbers ______ a dance           ACTIVITY 4            (vocabulary study)            I write the words "spade,club and diamond" from the third quatrain on the board.I explain the connatations  of these words and write            them on the board.Then I  ask them what they mean(stand for) in this poem?            spade(1): a metal for digging with a long handle and a broad  metal blade.            spade(2): any of 13 playing cards with a black symbol like a  wide leaf with a stem.            club(1): a society,group who come together as members for a  particular purpose.            club(2): any of 13 playing cards with a black symbol like three leaves joined together.            club(3): a stick with a thick end used as a weapon.            diamond(1): a brilliant,precious stone,the hardest substance known.            diamond(2): any of 13 playing cards in red with a figure with four equal sides whose angles are not right angles.           ACTIVITY 5            Reviewing the modal "may"  Fill in the blanks            He _______ the jack of diamons            He________ the queen of spades            He________ conceal a king in his hand            While the memory of it fades            Then we together make a review of modal "may".I write the main points on the board.
