Our son is moving out
A lady laments her son leaving home. True or false about the picture and then a short reading comprehension. It isn�t autobiographical - I can�t get rid of my son;-) NOTE: the book on the bookshelf says math, which is American but I have used British English vocabulary - maths - because I am English.

The Ghost of Cranston House
This is a short story with a twist in the tale, based on five images. There are exercises and discussion points. First, I ask the students to mind map the images and think about what the story might be about. Good for teaching �should�.

Scary picture!
They do the straightforward True or false activity, then.... either get them to use the prompt box and write sentences themselves, or, using the exercise on page 2, provide �there is� or �there are�. This picture was printed in a national newspaper, with no copyright mark, so it should be OK for us to use in an educational sense.

RC: The Tasting of the Marmite!
A straightforward reading comprehension. They read the story and answer the questions. Key included. I have tried to remain objective, but Marmite is really very tasty and students should be given the strongest encouragement to eat it:-)

Match up exercise.
They read the descriptions and put the right number next to them. Or cut them out... These guys were in the news for wearing trainers with formal clothes. You could get them to search magazines or the net for similar pictures and describe them.
