One of the first things I came across when I switched on my computer this morning was this:
I like it, so I shared it on Facebook and now I'm sharing it with you via this blog!
The two paintings below have something in common.
What?
- Can you see them in the same museum?
- Are they the same style?
- Were they painted by the same person?

The paintings in this article could be used in class.
Each student (or group or pair of students, depending on the number of students in your group) could read about a different painting and note the following information:
Who painted the painting?
Where was it stolen from?
How much is the painting worth?
Students can then discuss which of the 7 paintings they like or dislike and why and whether they think it's right that a painting or violin should be worth so much money.
If you want to continue with this debate, you could also show students pictures of the most expensive works of art sold at auction here.
hi, thanks for sharing the idea, on the theme of images, something I came across recently on a webinar was the use of a web site called Five card flicker(http://5card.cogdogblog.com/play)to create a random story board as a staring point for creating a discussion to produce a story. the site offers a selection of five images you select one, then again another five images, you select another and so on until you have 5 different images as the basis to develop a story from by connecting the images. going to try it tonight and think it should raise some interesting group conversation.
