students are asked to draw scenes from a song before listening to it. This activiates key vocabulary and grammatical structures contained withing the lyrics.
Part 1
1. I want you to draw two pictures. In the first picture, there is a man going for a walk on a winter’s day. The leaves are brown and the sky is grey. There is a thought bubble coming from his head. In the second picture the man is in a church. He is down on his knees and he is praying. The preacher is beside him.
2. Repeat the instructions back to you before drawing the scenes.
3. Artists can compare their work.

4. Consider what the man could be thinking about. For example:
•“I wish it was warmer”
•“I should get a dog”
•“I hate winter”
5. Add the following to the list:
•“I’d be safe and warm if I was in LA”
•“If I didn’t tell her I could leave today”
Part 2
1. I am going to teach you a chant. Use a call and response format to teach all of the lines from ‘California Dreaming’:
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in LA
California dreamimg
On such a winter’s day
I stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I’m going to stay
California dreaming
On such a winter’s day
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winter’s day
Great, Rosa!
