Tim burton's vincent. selective/extensive listening activity

This activity is for intermediate level listeners due to the length and nature of the audio (a poem) and the English used in it. Though it is a poem, the vocabulary is accessible. The activity isdivided in three Sections. Section A consists of questions that the Ss must answer (selective). The answers to these questions are explicit in the audio. On section B, Ss complete sentences accordinginformation also explicitly given in the audio (selective). Section C consists of only one instruction; Ss have to write a micro-review of the poem (extensive). This activity is interesting because itinvites the Ss to extract specific information from an entertaining audio, plus, they must pay attention to the whole audio to be able to write a very brief overview of the text.
