Can you predict (voorspellen) what this song is about?

• Look at the photo and title:
• What is this song about? what do you think?
  
• Later we'll see if our predictions were right

Listen and check for the following information: 

• What clothing does she want to wear?

• Listen for the above information. 
• Make sure students understand the questions

Anne Marie wants to wear a dress:

1. True
2. False

• false 
• Not into fancy clothes, I'm rocking baggy jeans

Listen one more time and make notes:

Look for the following information:

• When she was much younger, she thought being perfect was  ...
• Now she thinks being perfect is ...

• clear instruction?

When Anne Marie was much younger, she thought being perfect was:

• When I was really little, like winning a sport, that was like the perfect day, 
• Teenager: probably being as skinny as possible, that's what I thought  what perfect was

Now, Anne Marie thinks being perfect is:

"Being different to anyone else, to the whole world, that's perfect to me now. 

I just think that's beautiful

 "not being perfect, that's perfect to me"
