It is important to remember that jazz chanting is not like rapping, nursery rhymes, or songs, which distort the spoken language for poetic effect. The rhythms, stress and intonation pattern of the chant should be an exact replica of what the student would hear from an educated native speaker in natural conversation.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.Up above the world so high,Like a diamond in the sky.Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are.When the blazing sun is gone,When he nothing shines upon,Then you show your little light,Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark,Thanks you for your tiny spark,He could not see which way to go,If you did not twinkle so.In the dark blue sky you keep,And often through my curtains peep,For you never shut your eye,Till the sun is in the sky.As your bright and tiny spark,Lights the traveler in the dark.Though I know not what you are,Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

ORANGES & LEMONS Oranges and lemons,

say the bells of St. Clement’s;You owe me five farthings,say the bells of St. Martin’s;When will you pay me?say the bells of Old Bailey;When I grow rich,say the bells of Shoreditch;When will that be?say the bells of Stepney;I do not know,says the great bell of Bow;Here comes a candle to light you to bed,and here comes a chopper to chop off your head: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Why to use rhymes?• They are an alternative to the use of

graded readers.• They have been successfully used in

Primary and Pre-Primary schools.• They have a long tradition in English

speaking countries.

It’s raining, It’s pouring,The old man’s snoring;He went to bed,And bumped his head,And couldn’t get up in the morning.

The Incy Wincy Spider

Oh, The Grand Old Duke of YorkHe had ten thousand menhe marched them up to the top of the hilland he marched them down again.And when they were up, they were up.And when they were down, they were

down.And when they were half way up,they were neither up nor down.

We can find a lot of these short poems. For instance, Agatha Christie based many of her novels in them, such as "Ten Little Niggers", "The Crooked House", "A Pocketful of Rye", "Three Blind Mice", etc.

There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile;He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;He brought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,And they all lived together in a little crooked house.http://youtu.be/fqFDexLdlUo

Humpty Dumpty, the egg that fell from the wall, is well known by all of the English speakers.

Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall,Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall.All the king's horses and all the king's mencouldn't put Humpty together again.http://youtu.be/9fExzr4oa7w

Rhymes can be used at any moment in the teaching process, since they can give rise to a great number of different activities on:

•Pronuciation•Vocabulary•Grammar structures

Solomon Grundy,Born on Monday,Christened on Tuesday,Married on Wednesday,Sick on Thursday,Worse on Friday,Died on Saturday,Buried on Sunday.And that was the endOf Solomon Grundy.

• THE TRAGICAL DEATH OF A, APPLE-PIE, WHO WAS CUT IN PIECES AND EATEN BY TWENTY-FIVE GENTLEMEN WITH WHOM ALL LITTLE PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE VERY WELL ACQUAINTED.

(Dated in 1671)

One, two, three, four, five,Once I caught a fish aliveSix, seven, eight, nine, ten,Then I let it go again.Why did you let it go?Because it bit my finger so.Which finger did it bite?This little finger on the right.

This is the house that Jack built.This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack builtThis is the rat that ate the malt...This is the cat that killed the rat...This is the dog that worried the cat...This is the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog...This is the maiden all forlorn, that milked the cow...This is the man all tattered and torn that kissed the lady...This the cock, that crowed in the morn,That woke the priest all shaven and shorn,That married the man all tattered and torn,That kissed the maiden all forlorn,That milked the cow with the twisted hornThat tossed the dogThat chased the catThat killed the ratThat ate the maltThat lay in the house that Jack built.

1. What runs about all day and lies under the bed at night?2. What is black and white and /red/ all over?3. What grows bigger the more you take from it? 4. What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon and three in the

evening?5. The man who made it did not want it. The man who bought it did not use it.

The man who used it did not know it.6. What kind of can never needs a can-opener?7. Here on Earth it’s always true, that a day follows a day. But there is a place

where yesterday always follows today!8. I am always hungry, I must always be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn

red.

1. The dog2. The traditional answer, which relies upon the fact that the words "red" and

"read" are homophones, is: A newspaper3. A hole.4. Man. He crawls on all hands and knees as a baby, walks on two legs as an

adult, and walks using a cane in his old age. Of course morning, noon, and night are metaphors for the times in a man's (person's) life. Such metaphors are common in riddles.

5. A wooden coffin. The man who made it did not want it because he was not dead and did not want to be. The man who bought it also was not dead in other words he did not need it. And the man who used it is dead so he obviously cannot know that he is using it because..well he is dead!

6. A pelican.7. A dictionary8. A fire

My love is like a cabbagedivided into twoThe leaves I give to othersbut the heart I give to you.

Plenty of loveTons of kissesHope some dayTo be your Mrs.

Postman, postman, do your duty

Take this to my loving beauty.Postman, postman, do not tarrytake this to the one I'll marry
