One chapter each

http://www.visual-idioms.com/

Your students are going to write a book. You don't know what it's going to be about until it's finished. This will be a long-term project; it will probably last a couple of weeks or months, depending on the number of students in your class. Each student will write one chapter. Ask one volunteer to start (it might be advantageous to be the first one but it may also be challenging). Give him or her one week to produce the first chapter. Every Monday, for example, the book will be 'handed over' to the next student who has to continue the story. The students should read the book all along the line - not only when it's their turn to write. They can discuss they book, suggest how to go on and what to improve and change next time (according to constructivists, students gain greater agency to create their own knowledge when learning and working with peers). Encourage your students to use as many idioms as possible when writing. Each chapter should be of approximately the same length (1-2 A4 pages). All chapters should be illustrated with images and the titles should also be 'idiomatic'. The last student will have to come up with a good ending of the book. Finally, you can print out the book, share it with other classes, your colleagues, on Facebook, etc.
