Introduction

The subject of this period is singing.

Form groups of three or four pupils.

Famous singers sometimes have weird demands for their dressing rooms. Beyoncé, for instance, requires that her dressing room remains at exactly 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.55 degrees Celsius) at all times. Also, she doesn’t want a Coca-Cola product in sight, Pepsi only for this pop diva!

During their 1982 tour, legendary rock band Van Halen specifically wrote: “M&Ms (WARNING: ABSOLUTELY NO BROWN ONES)”

Take two minutes to write down what your demands would be if you were a famous singer.
Share your demands with one another.
