Adele - "Skyfall"

The classgroup is devided into 2 groups, so that in each bench there is one person from group number 1 and 1 person from group number 2.
Students watch the video of "Skyfall" by Adele and complete the following tasks:

GROUP 1:

What is James Bond wearing? List his clothes (e. g. a suit, a shirt etc.)

Write down the sentence shown at the end of the videoclip.

The last task should be completed by cooperation between two students from the same bench, one from group number one, the othe from group number 2.

After completing the task we explain the new vocab connected to clothes and the transportation:

• suit, bow tie, track suit, smart shoes

After completing this part students listen to the song again, this time with the lyrics with the gaps to fill in and additional tasks:
