It also could be divided into two parts,with the j <br /> S brainstorming before the show, and the crosswalk afterwards. If you do the f <br /> entire exercise before the performance,you can revisit it afterwards, to see if t <br /> Nthe students would like to make some modifications based on what they <br /> S learned at the show. 1 <br /> 4s 1 <br /> S Brainstorming:Ask the students to call out different types of music, and write - <br /> S these in one column on the board or flipchart.
