As a writing practice, we gave each of the students in 4th ESO the same picture, a reproduction of Far away thoughts with the task 'A picture that speaks more than a thousand words. They had to write about 300 words and they could either describe the picture or decide a story around it.
Some of the stories were quite realistic while others were absolutely hilarious. In this post you can read some of them.
