Hi all - I was wondering how you incorporated songs/singing into the OWL 
classroom. How do you introduce a song?

Before I switched to OWL, I would always do a cloze activity with a handout of 
the lyrics where students would listen to the song and fill in the missing 
lyrics, we would often translate the song and go over meaning, find cognates, 
etc... then of course sing it.

Now that I am doing OWL, I don't feel like I want to do the cloze activity 
anymore and definitely not translate. Your thoughts are much appreciated!
