INKHEART - behind the scenes
Another Inkheart ws - this one is about some trivia behind the scenes (interesting for teenagers). It requires reading and then vocabulary work on the text itself. Again, regardless of the ws, I do recommend the book(s) and the movie to all of you and your sts who love fantasy.

I use it as a ws, but also as a class poster. I sometimes give them colourful wss as a special reward, but it�s editable so you can print it in b&w if you want to.
