I used thie lesson with a very strong group of high school students. We talked about pride, and synonyms for pride. We looked at the K'naan video from the world cup as a jumping off point for feeling pride because we were talking about K'naan, particularely 'Waving Flag', while we shared music we like in previous classes.
After the music video I showed a clip of K'naan being interviewed about the song (both clips are in the ppt.). We talked about how while it's obvious that K'naan felt pride, he is humble as well. Most of these students will be interviewing in English for university, so learing vocabulary to use when talking about their accomplishments is important to them.
Again, this was a strong group, but I used it again with a group of average grade one high school students. I explained the interview with K'Naan clearly and just asked them to try to hear the parts I had explained, and to watch K'naan's face to see if he seemed proud in a good way or in a bragging way. We didn't focus as much on vocabulary, instead we mainly worked on dialogue about something they felt proud about. They were able to complete the interviews on their own, and although I don't think they got as much out of the lesson, it went really well and they seemed to enjoy it nearly as much as the stronger group.
I got some of the interview ideas from another post here on waygook. Feel free to use parts of this and build on it any way you'd like!
