Goals for Today:
Learn and use vocabulary to describe genres of music.
Use present perfect grammar to describe events in the recent past.
Use “for” and “since” to describe the duration of an action.
---
p. 21 - What do you see happening in the picture?
What are some other traditional dances you know?
folk dance = traditional dances for the “common people” (not formal or fancy high-society dances)
folk music, folk song, folk costume, folklore (“lore” is like spoken literature), folk tale (“tale” = story)

part 2 - With a partner, decide which word doesn’t belong with the others, and why.
2 play - the others are people
3 dancer - the others are performance events
4 act - the others are people
5 singer - the others are groups of people
6 clown - the others are types of performance
7 drummer - the others are types of music
8 hiking - the others are ways of performing
The ‘ch’ in “choreography”, “choir”, and “orchestra” is pronounced /k/.
chor-, char-, chem-, mech-, tech-, psych- : ‘ch’ is /k/ in all these words
	(They all come from Greek, which might help you if you have similar words in your language.)
---
genre = types of music, movies, books, etc.

Take 2 minutes to write the names of as many musical genres as you can.
In your group, compare your lists, explain unfamiliar genres if you can, and share your opinion of each type of music.
showtunes = songs from musicals (Broadway for example)
---
p. 22 part 1 - What types of music can you describe with the sentences in the box?
subgenre = a more specific type of music within a genre

part 2 - With your other partner, guess where these types of music are from.

p. 22 part 3 - What genres or songs can you describe with these words?
If you and your partner both don’t know the word, use your phone to find it in a dictionary (not translator).
Nostalgia is a melancholy feeling.
moving = emotionally powerful
---
part 4 - Listen to the radio program and complete the sentences
1 influences
2 six
3 Zulu
4 British
5 singer
6 Belgium
part 5 - Listen again and fix the mistakes in these sentences.
1 Manu Chao has not been successful in the English-speaking world.
2 World fusion has become better-known since the release of Paul Simon’s album Graceland.
3 Peter Gabriel has been part of WOMAD since its beginning.
4 Zap Mama has had several international hits.
“Zap Mama” is the singular name for a group of people.
In American English, the singular name means use a singular verb.
In British English, the group of people means use a plural verb.
---
Grammar: present perfect

form: have/has + past participle
meaning: something started in the past but continues now or could happen more in the future

p. 23 part 8 - Take a couple of minutes to write the present perfect forms of the verbs.
1 has lived
2 has become
3 have mixed
4 has happened (“what” is singular when it’s the subject)
5 have heard
6 has Zap Mama made
---
What words do we use with present perfect to tell how long something has continued or when it started?

“for” and “since”
p. 23 part 10 - Decide if each expression goes with “for” or “since”.

“for how long”: for + quantity of time
“since when”: since + point in time
---
“already”, “yet”, and “just”

already: something happened before (and maybe earlier than expected)
	They are already married, but they’ve only known each other for three months.
	I have already seen this movie.
“already” is in affirmative sentences

not yet: something hasn’t happened (but I expect it to happen soon)
	They aren’t married yet. The wedding is in August.
	I haven’t seen this movie yet. Do you want to go tomorrow?
“yet” is in negative sentences and questions
	Have you eaten lunch yet? (I don’t know if you have, but I know you will soon.)

just: something happened recently
	I just explained this. I’ve just finished lunch.
	(In American English, “just” is more common with simple past than present perfect, but both are okay.)
