1. Let’s Rap! (HOTS - Inferring) (Track 17) (page 46)
Have half the students rap two lines at a time., and the other half add the words ‘oh no’ after every
two lines, then all together they rap the last two lines. (This works well for the longer raps.)
Ask:
Who is the strange guy? (the green-faced guy)
Where did Tom and Kate see him? (They saw him on the way to the game,
riding his bike the wrong way.)
Do you think there is a connection between the green-faced guy and the guy
