Last November, Carolyn Graham did a workshop at the JALT National Conference in Shizuoka, Japan, on how to make a Jazz Chant. I taped her workshop, and with her permission am sharing the part of it where she demonstrates her technique.

Efter ett avsnitt av Holly’s heroes, där huvudpersonen bjuder in till fest fick eleverna i mindre grupper diskutera vad som var bra, mindre bra och om de hade gjort något annorlunda.
