Baz Luhrman's Sunscreen

This is a great listening activity for higher levels.  I usually start by asking them to think about they would say if they had to give one piece of advice for life and give them time to discuss this.  There is then a gap fill exercise and this can be followed by watching the video with subtitles.  It's a great song as it creates a lot of opportunity for discussion, what's the best piece of advice in the song etc.

Sarah's husband John has created a video which uses the same song too and this created a lot of conversation and emotion.  He took photographs of people around Manchester holding postcards from around the world and it really got them talking (and crying in some instances!)
