This week I want to discuss mystery pictures.  My middle school students love it when I give them a mystery picture.  They think that mystery pictures are a relaxing way to learn or review something.  The students are still practicing the skill, but then they get a chance to follow a key or code and color.  It makes a worksheet much more interesting.  The picture helps the students realize that they did the problems correctly.  Below is an example of one of the mystery pictures I use in my Language Arts classes.  If you are interested in using mystery pictures in your class, visit my store.  I have them for homonyms, figurative language, parts of speech, and word parts.  If you go to my freebies page, I posted a mystery picture freebie.
