Activity for 8 graders 

To encourage your students to learn the different ways in which they can compare people´s physical features and personality traits, play “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson and ask them to complete the gaps.

Here, the lyrics to the song

You know the bed feels __________
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you ________
Stand a little ________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even __________
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you ___________
Stand a little __________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you _________
Stand a little ________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even _______
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you _______
Stand a little ______
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you _______
Stand a little _________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even ____________
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

[2x]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you _________
Stand a little __________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

(When I'm alone)
