What if you could do drugs but only do half the damage? A few months ago the BBC news website carried a series of images of people made up to look as if only half of their body was damaged by drugs, a sort of left-handed Dorian Gray portrait.

A very basic powerpoint and a cloze worksheet aimed at the middle to low ability. Watch the printing as the spectra are in colour and that makes the photocopying expensive.

If you like this, leave a review, some constructive criticism or some questions.
