Wendy Hardy-Osborne
A reading comprehension. Wendy is actually Dr Who�s daughter;-)There are clues in the text that any of your students who watch Dr Who will pick up on: Buccaneer/Chula/Pentallion. And you didn�t study those subjects in the 19th century! The unscramble reads,�Her father is not a doctor, her father is the doctor. Which doctor? Dr Who, of course�.

London or Paris?
I am going to extend this and do projects on major European cities - but this may be useful as a picture-based discussion exercise. By the way - one of the pictures says it�s by Alpha Holiday lettings. I�ve contacted them 3 times for permission and they haven�t replied. Anyway, it�s not actually a copyright mark. Second btw - Paris wins hands-down!
