GROUP WORK  Stage one: dues (vocabulary) I've done my sentence But committed no crime sand kicked in my face (metaphor)  Work on the vocabulary in 4-groups: Each group gets a verse to work on (pupils whom experience difficulties should work on the chorus or in heterogeneous groups). Example: I've paid my dues (vocabulary) Time after time. (an expression) I've done my sentence But committed no crime. And bad mistakes ‒ I've made a few. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face (metaphor) But I've come through. (And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
