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 .
