Lyrics Eye in the Sky and Spelling Link

"Eye In The Sky"

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking...
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving


Make a chart like this one and classify the underlined verbs in the lyrics. Make sure each column has the verbs in alphabetical order.

Send me an e-mail with your homework attached.

Leonardo Da Vinci Project




This is a project that you'll be working on in teams. It can be done partly in school and you will also be able to do it from home since you'll do it in a shared document.

The presentations will be on Friday, January 9 and it will be your grade for Reading Comprehension, Grammar, and Vocabulary for this week. Make sure you check your grammar and spelling. You should use some of this lesson's vocabulary words too.

Feel free to use other resources apart from the presentation if you want (books, short videos,  models, etc.)
You don't need to include all of his inventions, designs, etc. for the topic that you were assigned, since there may be too many. Choose the most interesting ones or the most important and make sure you give us full information about them, especially if they are things we still use today or that were the step stones to another invention that we know.

These sites might be useful:
