So, at the beginning of the new term, my adult class once again requested to continue watching movies in class.
As with last time, I decided I didn't have enough time to make a brand new set of movie worksheets for them, but I gave them the option of adapting one of the sets I'd already made. I gave them a vote between 101 Dalmatians and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad won out.
These worksheets had all been originally designed for young learners, but I adopted them to my adult class the same way I had previously adapted Peter Pan and The Jungle Book --I took the worksheets I had already created, and just added 5 more advanced vocabulary words.

Narrator: If you were asked to choose
the most fabulous character in English (1)_____________, who would it be? Robin
Hood? King Arthur? Becky Sharp? Sherlock Holmes? Oliver Twist, perhaps? Well
any one of them would be an excellent choice. Still, for the most fabulous
character of all, I would nominate a toad: J Thaddeus Toad, Esquire. Have you
never met him? You'll find his story in this delightful little (2)_____________
"The Wind in the Willows".
Toad, you might say, was the one disturbing element. Incurable adventurer, mad,
reckless, tried everything. A positive mania for fads, and he never counted the
cost. He had a host of fair-weather friends, of course. But there were only
three who had his best interests at heart. One was a badger. MacBadger. And
then there was a water rat. A bit stuffy, perhaps, but really a fine fellow.
And a…a mole. A gentle creature, kind and sympathetic. They all made their
homes in a quaint little community along a riverbank. Now on that particular
day, Mole was in a hurry because... oh, yes of course, because he was late for

Rat: Dashed quiet, as usual, thank you.
Hmmm. Mole, listen to this: Dear Rat, You and Mole must come to Toad Hall at
once. Urgent!! A. MacBadger.
Narrator: Now Rat was certain Toad was
making trouble again. Well, the answer to that lay just around the bend at Toad
Hall, the ancestral home of J Thaddeus himself. This impressive structure, by
the way, was by all odds the finest home on the river. The animals were
tremendously proud of it. They felt it gave the whole community an air of, uh,
respectability. To lose Toad Hall was, of course, unthinkable, and yet it was
no secret that Toad's costly follies had brought him to the brink of

Cyril: Haha! I thought you wouldn't know that, governor!
Prosecutor:Your Lordship, I--
Judge: The witness may testify in his own words.
Cyril: Right-o, governor. Now I'll give you the facts of case. For when Toady
escaped from his boudoir, he come heading straight for my place. Soon we was
off down the highway, but hadn't gone far, I confess, when all of a sudden with
a rush and a roar something passed like the London Express. It was big, it was
red, it was beautiful. A motorcar, hehehe, a bit of alright. Toady was
transfixed with, uh, rapture. You could tell it was love at first (2)_________.
The motor pulled up to a tavern, wherein was located a bar. And we watched
while some tough-looking weasels got out of that lovely red car. Now, weasels,
I know, are deceitful. And not to be trusted, at all. But how could I know
they'd stolen that car? I didn't have no (3)_________ ball. And the governor,
he’s not one to dally, he made up his mind like a flash.
He says “Try it for size, my good Cyril, while I see what they'll take
for it, cash.”
So into the tavern he saunters, where the barman was back of the bar.
And he said, “Cheerio, tavern keeper. Who's the owner of that, uh,
hot-looking car?”
The (4)_________, a codger named Winky, leaned over the bar and said,
“Why?”
The governor answered, “That car must be mine! Whatever the price is,
I'll buy.”
But Toad found he hadn't no (5)_________ ball. So, he promptly offered
a (6)_________. The weasels appeared to be willing. In a moment, the bargain
was made. Then Toady drawed up a paper, with almost incredible speed. And he
called on old Winky the barman to pop over and witness the deed. Now, the
governor’s not a bit (7)_________. He never does anything small. The weasels
gave him the red motorcar, ha, and he gave the (8)_________ Toad Hall.
Macbadger: Ohh!
Prosecutor: Hmmm. Traded Toad Hall? An estate worth 100,000 pounds for a
motorcar? You expect me to believe that?
Toad: I don't expect you to believe anything. But fortunately, I can
produce a witness. Call Mister Winky!
Court Clerk: Mister Winky! Mister Winky!
Toad: My lord, gentlemen, facing you in the witness (9)__________ is a citizen of substance and standing. A man

Toad: My lord, with the court's indulgence, I
rise prepared to plead my own defense.
Rat: Moley! Moley, stop it!
Toad: Gentlemen of the jury I call, as my first witness, Cyril Proudbottom.
Court Clerk: Cyril
Proudbottom.
Toad: Are you acquainted with the defendant, J Thaddeus Toad?
Cyril: Lord love a duck, yes! He's one of the jolliest chaps I've ever run
across. And simply tons of money.
Prosecutor: Good fellow, eh? Throws it away. BUT he wasn't throwing it away that
day! You heard Mister MacBadger testify that his allowance was cut off. Then
how did he get a motorcar?
Cyril: The only way a gentleman gets anything. The honest way.
Prosecutor: And what is the (1)honest way?
Cyril: Haha! I thought you wouldn't know that, governor!
Prosecutor:Your Lordship, I--
Judge: The witness may testify in his own words.
Cyril: Right-o, governor. Now I'll give you the facts of case. For when Toady
escaped from his boudoir, he come heading straight for my place. Soon we was
off down the highway, but hadn't gone far, I confess, when all of a sudden with
a rush and a roar something passed like the London Express. It was big, it was
red, it was beautiful. A motorcar, hehehe, a bit of alright. Toady was
transfixed with, uh, rapture. You could tell it was love at first (2)sight.
The motor pulled up to a tavern, wherein was located a bar. And we watched
while some tough-looking weasels got out of that lovely red car. Now, weasels,
I know, are deceitful. And not to be trusted, at all. But how could I know
they'd stolen that car? I didn't have no (3)crystal ball. And the
governor, he’s not one to dally, he made up his mind like a flash.
He says “Try it for size, my good Cyril, while I see what they'll take
for it, cash.”
So into the tavern he saunters, where the barman was back of the bar.
And he said, “Cheerio, tavern keeper. Who's the owner of that, uh,
hot-looking car?”
The (4)barman, a codger named Winky, leaned over the bar and
said, “Why?”
The governor answered, “That car must be mine! Whatever the price is,
I'll buy.”
But Toad found he hadn't no (5)money. So, he promptly offered a
(6)trade. The weasels appeared to be willing. In a moment, the bargain
was made. Then Toady drawed up a paper, with almost incredible speed. And he
called on old Winky the barman to pop over and witness the deed. Now, the
governor’s not a bit (7)stingy. He never does anything small. The
weasels gave him the red motorcar, ha, and he gave the (8)weasels Toad
Hall.
Macbadger: Ohh!
Prosecutor: Hmmm. Traded Toad Hall? An estate worth 100,000 pounds for a
motorcar? You expect me to believe that?
Toad: I don't expect you to believe anything. But fortunately, I can
produce a witness. Call Mister Winky!
Court Clerk: Mister Winky! Mister Winky!
Toad: My lord, gentlemen, facing you in the witness (9)box is a
citizen of substance and standing. A man of unimpeachable honesty. Now, Mister
Winky, do you recall an incident that took place in your establishment last
August the 12th, that I was a party to?
Winky: Oh yes, sir, that I do, sir.
Toad: Well, then, hahaha, just tell the court what actually happened.
Winky: Well, governor, you tried
to sell me a stolen motorcar.
Cyril: That’s a deliberate lie, you monkey-faced little rump-wat!
Toad: No. Oh! I've been (10)framed! Let me go! Help! Help! Help!

American Narrator: Ohohoho, yes, yeah,
J. Thad was quite a lad. Speaking of
fabulous characters, England has produced a bumper crop of them. But don’t forget over here in the colonies
we’ve managed to come up with a few of our own.
How about Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Johnny Appleseed, Black Bart,
Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone? And of course, the one and only Ichabod
Crane. Old Ichy, if you recall, was the
country schoolmaster dreamed up by Washington Irving. Ah, he had a way with the
yarn, did Mister Irving. If we could but
journey back to that remote period in American history when the city of
Manhattan was but a market town, we would discover, in the bosom one of those
spacious coves which indent the shores of the Hudson, the little
(1)_____________ of Tarry Town. And just beyond, nestled deep in the low
rolling hills, a sequestered glen. It's a quiet, peaceful place, and yet,
somehow foreboding. For it abounds in haunted spots, twilight tales and local
superstitions. The best-known story, however, concerns a certain itinerant
schoolmaster who once frequented these parts.
Indeed some say his melancholy spirit still haunts the vicinity. The
worthy pedagogue was described as a most unusual man. To see him striding
along, one might well mistake him for some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield.
He was tall, but exceedingly lank. His head was small and flat on top, with a
long, snipe (2)_____________, so that it looked like a weathercock perched upon
his spindle neck. Altogether, he was such an apparition as is seldom to be seen
in broad daylight. It was late one drowsy autumn afternoon when this strange
figure first approached the tranquil little village of Sleepy Hollow. As usual,
there had forgathered at Ye Old Schnooker and Schnapps Shoppe, a group of
rustic lads known as the Sleepy Hollow boys.
Brom Bones: YAHOO!
Narrator: Their self-appointed leader,
one Brom Bones, was a burly, roistering blade, always ready for a fight or a
frolic.
Surprised man: Ooohoo!
Narrator: And though Brom was much given
to madcap pranks and practical jokes, well, there was no malice in his
mischief. Indeed with his waggish humor and prodigious strength, Brom Bones was
quite the hero, all the country round.

from Ichabod, Ichabod Crane. And though the arrival of the (9)_____________
gave rise to mixed emotions, the townspeople all agreed they'd never seen
anyone like Ichabod, Ichabod Crane. The schoolroom became Ichabod's empire,
over which, with lordly dignity, he held absolute sway. Truth to say, Ichabod
was a conscientious man, and ever bore in mind the golden maxim: spare the rod
and spoil the child. Still, he was careful to administer justice with
discrimination. For it behooved him to keep on good terms with his pupils.
Especially if their mothers happened to be good cooks. Who's the town's ladies'

dreamed up by Washington Irving. Ah, he had a way with the yarn, did Mister
Irving. If we could but journey back to
that remote period in American history when the city of Manhattan was but a
market town, we would discover, in the bosom one of those spacious coves which
indent the shores of the Hudson, the little (1)village of Tarry Town.
And just beyond, nestled deep in the low rolling hills, a sequestered glen.
It's a quiet, peaceful place, and yet, somehow foreboding. For it abounds in
haunted spots, twilight tales and local superstitions. The best-known story,
however, concerns a certain itinerant schoolmaster who once frequented these
parts. Indeed some say his melancholy
spirit still haunts the vicinity. The worthy pedagogue was described as a most
unusual man. To see him striding along, one might well mistake him for some
scarecrow eloped from a cornfield. He was tall, but exceedingly lank. His head
was small and flat on top, with a long, snipe (2)nose, so that it looked
like a weathercock perched upon his spindle neck. Altogether, he was such an
apparition as is seldom to be seen in broad daylight. It was late one drowsy
autumn afternoon when this strange figure first approached the tranquil little
village of Sleepy Hollow. As usual, there had forgathered at Ye Old Schnooker
and Schnapps Shoppe, a group of rustic lads known as the Sleepy Hollow boys.
Brom Bones: YAHOO!
Narrator: Their self-appointed leader,
one Brom Bones, was a burly, roistering blade, always ready for a fight or a
frolic.
Surprised man: Ooohoo!
Narrator: And though Brom was much given
to madcap pranks and practical jokes, well, there was no malice in his
mischief. Indeed with his waggish humor and prodigious strength, Brom Bones was
quite the hero, all the country round.
Brom Bones: Odds bodkins! Gadzooks! Look
at that old (3)spook of spooks.
Singers: Who's that coming down the
street?
Narrator: Are they shovels or are they
(4)feet?
Singers: Lean and lanky
Narrator: Skin and bones with clothes a

Singers: Debonair and devil-may-care,
it's the new (6)schoolmaster what's his name?
Narrator: Ichabod. Ichabod Crane.
Singers:
Ichabod! What a (7)name!
Narrator: Kind of odd
Singers: But nice just the same. Funny
pan, funny frame, Ichabod, Ichabod Crane.
Narrator: Ichabod may be (8)quaint,
May be odd, and maybe he ain't. Anyway, there's no complaint, from Ichabod,
Ichabod Crane. And though the arrival of the (9)pedagogue gave rise to
mixed emotions, the townspeople all agreed they'd never seen anyone like
Ichabod, Ichabod Crane. The schoolroom became Ichabod's empire, over which,
with lordly dignity, he held absolute sway. Truth to say, Ichabod was a
conscientious man, and ever bore in mind the golden maxim: spare the rod and
spoil the child. Still, he was careful to administer justice with
discrimination. For it behooved him to keep on good terms with his pupils.
Especially if their mothers happened to be good cooks. Who's the town's ladies'

Narrator: Truth to say, every portal to

Ichabod was confident he'd soon ride roughshod over these simple country
bumpkins. The most formidable obstacle of all, however, the schoolmaster had
failed to reckon with. That was the redoubtable Brom Bones himself. Now the
ease with which Brom cleared the field of rivals both piqued and provoked the
fair Katrina. And she often wished that some champion would appear and for once
take the field openly against the boisterous Brom. Though a wiser man would
have shrunk from the competition, love, they say, is (7)________________.
Ichabod was aware only that Dame Fortune was at last thundering at his door.

you! What is this strange power you have over women? Well, tonight's the night,
boy! Just turn on the old charm. The fair Katrina is yours for the asking. So
gaily bedecked and nobly mounted on a horse he had borrowed for the occasion,
Ichabod issued forth like a knight errant of old to keep a tryst with his lady
fair. In all the countryside, there was nothing to equal the merrymaking at

are bad, but the one that's cursed is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst.
