Here’s the plan in case you want to do it too. Ask your students what day it is, and whether anything special happens on this day in their country.
What do they know about Valentine’s Day in the UK? What kind of gifts do people normally give for Valentine’s Day? Brainstorm them on the board. Give each group the word cloud. They decide what links the words in the cloud and what she is sending her Valentine. Show them an onion. Ask the students to close their eyes and put their heads on the desk (but try not to fall asleep!). Ask them to discuss how similar the poem was to their ideas.
You can then do some pronunciation/speaking work. They talk about why you pause in those places – it’s because of line/stanza breaks, and also phrases within the lines. Happy Valentine’s Day! Like this: Like Loading... Related. Valentine ngl. Valentine mm.
