Once upon a time

http://visualidioms.blogspot.com/



Choose one idiom you will want your students to elaborate on (for example Every cloud has a silver lining). Display the picture to give the students some inspiration. The students' task will be to write a story of about 150 words. The story should begin...Once upon a time... The story can be true or fictional. When finished, the students work in pairs, read each other's stories and discuss them, asking additional questions. They can also guess if the story is true and say why they think so.
