Making a banjo

I will make a small banjo with my students.

They will need some roll cardboard, 3 chopsticks, 1 icecream stick, rubber bands, ballons and scissors.

You can see the steps in this webpage

Once the banjo is made, we can let the students to play it and experience their sound.

Next, I will teach the students a traditional American song Oh Susana!! We can do a gap filling activity and comprehension questions.

Finally we can all sing the song playing the banjo because the character ofthe song plays it as well.
