The Do-It-Yourself Love Song

This activity was done by my 4ºA ESO students to celebrate St. Valentine's day. I hope you can enjoy it as much as we did.

Read the poem and underline the correct alternatives.

The Do-It-Yourself Love Song

I'm so happy that I found you
I always want to be about / between / around / against you.
And if I'm sal and all lonely / sorry / alone / depressed,
I call you on my mobile phone.
And tell you just how much I care,
And how I miss your fragrant eyes / teeth / legs / hair,
Your shining eyes, your loving touch / way / voice / heart,
I have to call, I have no choice.
I thank the shining stars between / above / around
That I have found the perfect love
I've had other loves, it's true / right / clear /obvious
But none that can compare with you.
Believe me love, I'd rather die
That cause you pain or make you laugh / scream / weep / cry.
The strong emotions that I feel
Prove to me our love is loyal / real / reat /fine.
But now that I've given you my mind / word / heart / trust
Promise me we'll never part.
For if you went away -what then?
I'm sure I'd nerver love twice / after / more / again.

Once the poem was done and read aloud in class I told them to write a love poem with a partner. I gave them some words that could help but they could use the words they wanted.

trust sun woman man voice warm taste perfume wind flowers love

dream like cold die flame date rain together soft remember paradise

sugar world soul life smile enjoy blue passion life true star

feel hot special alive embrace fine time sky sweet wave romantic

touch mouth hands heart hair without lips stay cry magic kiss


Be sure Be mine Deep inside By my side


All of them invented poems and some of them created power points with them.
I really hope they post them in 'My students' poems'
