I was happy to hear from Guido, a teacher working in Seville. He said that he liked the idea of using images of book covers from Amazon to create classroom activities. He made this YouTube clip for his students:

So what are the missing words?

• …..   …………… that I had duck feet
• …..   …………… I could hold your hand
• …..   …………… I could dine with a porcupine
• …..   …………… I were a dog
• …..   …………… my brother was a dog
• …..   …………… I didn’t have to sleep
• …..   …………… I was the person I’m pretending to be
• …..   …………… you weren’t my mummy
• …..   …………… Daddy didn’t drink so much

Perhaps after identifying the missing words (”I wish”), students could be asked to reconstruct the auxiliaries/verbs which follow them:

• I wish that I ………. duck feet
• I wish I ………. hold your hand
• I wish I ………. dine with a porcupine
• I wish I ………. a dog
• I wish my brother ………. a dog
• I wish I ………. have to sleep
• I wish I ………. the person I’m pretending to be
• I wish you ………. my mummy
• I wish Daddy ………. drink so much
