Almost lover - lyrics worksheet
This is a wonderful song I did with my teenage students. They loved singing it, even though it feels kind of sad and melancholic. With my high school students, I had a discussion afterwards about the fine line between friendship and love, and about loving and being loved. All around, a very romantic lesson.

STARDUST - WORDSEARCH
This is just a simple wordsearch I created for my intermediate students who had to do quite a big comprehension follow-up worksheet for the movie Stardust, so this wordsearch came as just a bit of fun.

Fascinating woman, Pink, and a very interesting song! Kids are usually surprised when we read the lyrics through - they think it�s about something else and they never expect serious things from her(funny how image influences us!).
