Really love the pictures - would you mind sharing their source or suggest where we could find similar ones? I often create such story-based tasks myself and finding such great pictures is a struggle. The tasks are also great, while looking at them I thought that students could be asked to guess the ending of the first story and feature the last picture as a separate task.
Thanks Maria! You can find similar images on Shutterstock, but you should have an account. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer free images. Nice tip! Guessing the ending is really challenging for students!
Very nice! You could also just use pictures, and then let students (alone / pairs / groups) determine the order themselves. Then, they can write their own story and share with the rest of the class. :)
Thanks for posting your materials. They look very professional, straight out of a course book. I like the design and layout, the way you’ve arranged everything for maximum clarity. Well done. Where are the images from? Do you have access to a professional illustrator?
Great pictures for a story. Nice staging too – each step supports the next one. I’d add a heading – it’s something we often forget to do but it will make this more complete, I think. That’s the only way I can think of to improve these materials! Excellent.
I understand Michalel's point above too - maybe you can add something like. This is one interpretation of the story ... to show students that their versions aren't 'wrong'.
Thank you Katherine Bilsborough for your comments! The images are from Shutterstock. I've got an account so I can download from this site. Although I'm not a professional graphic designer, my job in the publishing house has helped me a lot to obtain invaluable (basic) knowledge.
