ACTIVITY TWO: As they listen to the song, the students will check their answers. In this stage , I will play the tape more than once. Because I want them to concentrate on the sentences in the song. ACTIVITY THREE: I will choose some sentences from the song and record these sentences to a cassette. I will also bring some pictures or photographs to the class. I will bring, for example, the picture of a beggar, a man living in the streets, a woman with a torn and dirty dress, a boy living in a very poor neighborhood, and a man painting shoes. As the students see the pictures , they will also hear the sentences from the cassette. For example, as they listen to these sentences, they will also see the pictures below: If I had $1000000 , I'd buy a house ( boy living in a very poor neighborhood) If I had $1000000 , I'd buy a K-Car (man painting shoes ) If I had $1000000 , I'd buy a green dress (woman with a torn and dirty dress) If I had $1000000 , I'd buy a fur coat (woman with a torn and dirty dress) If I had $1000000, I'd be rich (man living in the streets) If I had $1000000, we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more ( beggar) In the photographs, the subjects will be dreaming or thoughtful. ACTIVITY FOUR: Now the students have understood what happens in the song; and they have also understood that the unreality in the song is given with the structure of the sentences in the song. Now, I will ask some questions about the song , because I want the students concentrate on the unreality in the song. I will ask, for example: Is the singer rich or poor? Who can be the potential singers of this song? What can be the singer doing? ( My aim is to elicit the word dreaming, because this structure is mostly used when we are dreaming something that can not be real. ) Then, I ask the students if they had a great power or big money, what would they do? We talk about it for ten minutes ACTIVITY FOUR: I prepare a worksheet wit the first part of the sentences in the song and ask the students to create their own song by completing the sentences with their own words.
