Tell them that Part II is only a little different, but it's the part that is really responsible for making the harmony. When you feel they are secure about Part II, divide the class into two groups, making sure you have some singers who sounded particularly strong on Part II in that group. I as the soprano part and Part II as the Alto part. Have the students stand with their group, and make some distance between the two groups for your self to stand. They should be surprised and pleased at the harmony they produce.
