Teacher’ s notes- Mother’ s Day
Ask your students what they would do on Mother ´ s day to make their mother feel special. Would they make something or maybe take her out to a spa centre? Or they could dedicate a song to their mum on their favourite radio show. Ask them if they know any songs dedicated to a mother.
Tell the students that you are going to play the song“ Mama” by the Spice Girls. If they haven ´ t heard about the British band, you can tell them they were really popular in the 90s. Play the song and ask them to think about the relationship between the protagonist and the mother. Here ´ s a link to the video on youtube: https:// www. youtube. com / watch? v = VsNbhwSXDB8
After you play the song, you can show them the lyrics and talk about the feelings that the song conveys. Do they have a similar relationship with their mother? How does the song make them feel?

Ask the students to work in small groups again and tell them to show the pictures they have brought. Let them talk about why they have chosen this picture and also a special moment they had with their mum.
For homework you can ask them to write a poem or a song dedicated to their mother.
