January’s New Downloadable Worksheets

Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
This worksheet attempts to analyse the lyrics of this classic, which spent nine weeks at Number One in the UK in December 1975 and January 1976, despite guitarist Brian May’s assertion that it is “beyond analysis”.

Hot N Cold – Katy Perry
To celebrate the Roadshow’s 10th anniversary, each month we are publishing a worksheet for one song from each tour. This song was in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 shows, and the worksheet focuses on opposites.

The Golden Dustman
A true Cockney is born within the sound of the East End of London’s Bow Bells, just like the author of this worksheet. ELT guru Roy Boardman wrote these activities which look at the local rhyming slang.

Most of the worksheets have been written by your colleagues – perhaps you have prepared one and want to share it?
