Drugs + Alcohol - Cendrillon Song
Song in French from the group Telephone from the mid 80s about the problems of drugs and alcohol in society, theme of single mothers too.
I used this as a promotion for A-level with my Y11 class. It was just a one off but there is potential to develop it with other themes... Walt Disney cartoons for children, fairy tales and creative writing...
The first page is a gap fill from the song and the second one has some pictures to order as you hear the description from the song.
Hope it helps!
