5 Christmas pictures that have scenes that can be interpreted by students in different ways, what one student thinks is happening in the picture another may not. I have suggested possible scenarios, and asked pointed questions of each picture to assist the student’s thinking and creative process. This unit can be used in a number of ways. We all have the lessons that finish 5 or 10 minutes before breaks, there is not enough time to begin another topic and too long for the students to sit not doing work. I would create different activities and the student could choose what they wanted to do, it kept them interested, filled in the excess time and they learned as well. I used the Fill-er-in-er-ers in other ways as well, they were suitable as homework activities, used as group work to encourage discussion, for those students who always finished their work quickly or kept in a booklet that the students could complete during the term.
