Alphabet Animal Posters D' Nealian Style

Photographs, rather than clip art, add a bit of realism so these are especially nice for slightly older English language learners. Best of all there are no chevrons, polka dots, stripes nor bubble headed stick figures anywhere on these posters. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) (^_^) Designed in A4 size but can be printed half or a quarter that by adjusting your printer settings. __________ ABC Animal Posters by Michael Allen Kelly is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

Whatever you do...don't download these Super Scary Writing Sheets.

There are four Halloween themed cover sheets for students to illustrate and a fifth blank cover sheet for students' creativity. The design of the writing sheets is not quite right but don't take my word for it. Download it and see for yourself. Nonetheless, you have been warned. Notable features are: 1. Portrait and landscape designs. 2. Four styles of cover pages. 3. Additional blank cover page for student created designs. 4. Two versions of most writing sheets with regular and penmanship lines for younger writers. 5. A page number box for multiple page writing. 6. Four styles of comic strip templates for those students who love to draw comics. 7. Full colour and low ink versions are provided. 8. Minimal use of clipart leading to more student creativity and usefulness year round. 9. A complete absence of chevrons, polka dots and bubble headed clipart. (Because those are way too scary even for me!!) The number of unique pages is 31. Including the low ink versions there are 62 sheets total. __________ Super Scary Halloween Writing Sheets by Michael Allen Kelly is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License
