I have planned this didactic unit as a revision unit of the past simple. Its purpose is torevise this tense as well as familiarize my students with some musical terms. At the same time, I’m dealing with interdisciplinarity as they will get in contact with social and musical aspects, as well asthe use of the new technologies of information and communication. Finally, and in order to deal with the different levels of my students, I have prepared a bank of reinforcement and extensionactivities in the internet, in my delicious page. Besides, I have organized mixed ability groups so that all my students can participate in this task.
