Step 1 - Listening
Ice age
Have you ever seen any of the Ice Age films?
Did you like them? Why, why not? Which character(s) do you like most?
You are going to listen to a song from Ice Age 4 about family.
Before you start listening, have a look at the sentences from the assignment below.
Together they form the chorus. Try to put them in the right order while listening.
You will have several chances to do so because the chorus is played three times.
Now we're going to listen in more detail. The words below are all in the song. They are in the order of the song. Before listening make sure you know the meaning of the words.
family
close as close can be
we look perfect to me
I feel so lucky
we come from everywhere
the link in our chain
While listening:
Write down words from the text you think are (in any kind of way) connected to these words (make sure you can explain their connection). The more you write down, the better!
After listening:
Compare your notes to those of a classmate. How many words have you got? Have you got similar words? Can you explain the connection? If yes, move on for the next part of the exercise.
Check if the words you wrote down are present in the lyrics (at the bottom of the page) and if your answers make sense. Which group found the most words?
Now, using your own notes and the lyrics (if necessary), answer the following question:
Do you think the people singing the song are family? Why or why not?
What words from the text make you think so?
Discussion
What is the link between family and friends according to you?
Have you got friends that feel like family or the other way around?
Lyrics
We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are, close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are, family
We are family (several times)
So what, we don’t look, we don’t act, we don’t walk, we don’t talk like you do
So what if we hang just to hang
Ain’t no shame
We both do what we want to
‘cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home
We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are, close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are family
We are family
OK, so the links in our chain makes us strange
But really they make us stronger
And I wouldn’t replace not a thing
Mother or father …
‘Cause weee
‘cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home
We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are family
Family (we are)
We are, we are, family
Step 2 - Reading
Cinderella
You are going to read the fairy tale of Cinderella.
Read the fairy tale.
Do the assignment.
Cinderella
Cinderella lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters, who were jealous of her and treated her very badly.
She had to spend all day, every day doing work around the house.
One day an invitation arrived from the prince, who was having a ball.
Cinderella had to help her stepmother and stepsisters make beautiful dresses for the ball, and on the night of the ball they went off and left the poor girl alone.
She was very sad, but suddenly her Fairy Godmother appeared and turned Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful gown.
She turned a pumpkin into a golden coach and some mice into lovely black horses and a rat into a coachman. So Cinderella went to the ball, but her Fairy Godmother warned her that she had to leave the ball by midnight.
When the prince saw Cinderella he thought she was so beautiful that he danced with her all evening.
Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, and Cinderella remembered what her Fairy Godmother had told her. She ran out of the palace and was in such a hurry that one of her glass slippers came off as she was racing down the stairs.
The prince found the slipper and ordered his servants to go out into his kingdom and make every girl try the slipper on until they found its owner.
Eventually they arrived at Cinderella’s house and discovered that the slipper fitted her.
They took her back to the palace and she married the prince. They lived happily ever after.
Step 3 - Vocabulary
To be able to do all the assignments correctly, you need to know some words and sentences.
For each theme there are word lists ready in Wozzol, with which you can practice:
Tip!
There are many ways to study vocabulary. You can read the words aloud or copy them. The most important rule is never to spend more than 10 minutes studying words. Every minute you spend longer is a waste of time.
Step 4 - Grammar
You are going to take a grammar test. But first, do you know the difference between making a test and taking a test?
The teacher makes a test meaning: the teacher writes the questions.
The pupil takes a test meaning: the pupil answers the questions.
De onderstaande antwoorden moet je zelf nakijken; vergelijk jouw antwoorden met de goede
antwoorden, en geef aan in welke mate jouw antwoorden correct zijn.
