Self-evaluation

In my view the video task is a great way to prepare questions that would interest the students. It is important to teach students in a way related to their everyday life. School should not be alienating children from life outside school, so I think the video task is a great example of an innovative teaching method.

Hey, little Sparta

Now listen to the song and fill in the missing words. Why did the man name his kitty Sparta, what do you think? Answer in a few sentences.

I got this little kitty about 2 months back
he was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack
This little kitty is a 1.........., always stalking my feet
This little kitty is a 2.......... you know what I mean

he's an evil little kitty look what he did to my hand
tries to get in 3.......... in any way that he can
I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper
and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper

You could lock him in a closet and he just won't care
kitty 4.......... on my shoes and he licks on my hair
always scratching on my favorite 5.......... and jumping on the couch
playing in the window sills and 6.......... through the house

He's so full of energy and easily amused
kitty will attack anything that 7..........
Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of
he's the meanest little kitty so we named him Sparta

Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite

Where'd you go
are you 8.......... me?
are you under the couch, quite possibly
ears laid back so you don't get caught
ready to pounce my leg with everything that you got

I know you're probably watching me from across the room
concentrating contemplating on attacking me soon
You're not 9.......... kitty, I'm gonna find you first
Come out come out before I make things worse

I've seen where you hide and I know where you've been
Hey kitty why don't you give in
Even if you try to sneak up on me, I'm prepared
Cause I've got my safety gear on and I'm not 10..........

I think I hear a little kitty under the bed
I know your making noises just to mess with my head
You can stalk me all you want, but I'm not your 11..........
cause you always seem to find me first, but not today

Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
Come on out, I'm gonna get you now

I've got 'em cornered
and now he's mine
He's not gonna get away this time
I'll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then…
Aw man! He's asleep in the 12..........

What is with this cat? I'm confused
He's got a bed, but it's never been used
In every waking moment, kitty's out for the fight
then [fart] next minute kitty's out like a 13..........

How could I let this creature live inside of my home
I gotta keep an eye on him when I'm on the 14..........
I'm a little afraid to leave this cat all alone
this kitty may destroy everything that I own

Look at him now, I kinda feel bad
He's the 15.......... little cat that I've had
and the one big thing I forgot to mention, was that
He wasn't fighting, he just wanted 16..........

Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight
showing love, that's all this kitty does
