Using songs in class can make students motivated and eager to learn. Nowadays, there are many sites that can help teachers develop materials to have students revisit the words in the song and learn even more. In this class I started with the song itself and used quizlet to practice the words. Then, I had a fill in the blanks to practice listening. It was used to explore adjectives and the topic - being in love.

1. Listen to this song and answer the questions below.

What is this song about?

How does the singer feel?

2. Work on the some of the words in the song.

L 1.Listen to the song below and fill in the blanks with one of the words above.

After one whole quart of brandy

Like a daisy I`m awake

With no Bromo Seltzer handy,

I don't even shake.

Men are not a new sensation;

I've done pretty well, I think.

But this ___________imitation

Put me on the blink

REFRAIN

I'm wild again

_________ again

A simpering, whimpering child again

Bewitched, bothered and ____________am I

Couldn't sleep

And wouldn't sleep

When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Lost my heart but what of it?

He`s cold I agree.

He can laugh, but I love it

Although the laugh's on me.

I'll sing to him

Each spring to him

And long for the day when I`ll cling to him

Bewitched, bothered and ______________ am I

He`s a fool, and don`t I know it

But a fool can have his charms

I`m in love and don`t I show I Show it

Like a baby in arms

Love`s the same old sad sensation

Lately I`ve not slept a wink

Since this half-pint imitation

Put me on the blink

Seen a lot

I mean I lot

But now I'm like sweet seventeen a lot

Bewitched, bothered and _____________ am I

I'll sing to him

Each spring to him

And worship the trousers that cling to him

Bewitched, bothered and ______________ am I

When he talks he is seeking

Words to get off his chest.

Horizontally speaking

He's at his very best.

____________ again

Perplexed again

Thank God I can't be oversexed again

Bewitched, bothered and ____________ am I

(Reprise at the end of the show)

­­­­­­____________at last

My eyes at last

Are cutting you down to your size at last

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more

Burned a lot

But learned a lot

And now you are broke, though you earned a lot

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more

Couldn't eat

Was ­­_____________

Life was so hard to bear;

Now my heart's antiseptic

Since you moved out of there

Romance-Finis

Your chance-finis

Those ants that invaded my pants-finis

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more.
