    Very versatile images and great for teaching. EAL and my second language learners love the images equally. The cliparts clearly depict the activity and a re easily recognisable. Thank you!

  2. Kara T.

    I used this during writing time. I have very reluctant writers. They all found something to write about and were more likely to write due to the choices within each page.
