An urban legend: the tale of the missing bride.
A reading comp. I have omitted 12 verbs, just to make them think, but not spoil the flow of the reading. Then they complete the exercises. When they know the story reasonably well, they could do a role play/hotseat activity. I have included two hotseat cards, plus the key to the missing words, in the order they appear.

Teaching adverbs in a subtle manner
I went on a course �Grammar for writing� which informs us that you should teach grammar, but in a covert sort of way. I made this little ppt, which will be a nice little starter for reinforcing adverbs.

What did Anne Boleyn, unfortunate wife of Henry the 8th, look like?
I have just returned from a visit to Hever castle, birthplace of darling Anne Boleyn. She was so badly done to, poor soul, by that foul monster Henry the 8th. All portraits of her were destroyed after her fall from grace. I think these two images - a miniature and a sketch, are her!
