2. … and second, a blog for Pearson by Jeanne Perrett  https://www.english.com/blog/10-free-worksheets-values-inspired-by-disney/  including 10 free worksheets to teach values inspired by Disney characters that might be fun.

That said, I can well remember the ‘fun’ we had a few years ago when a colleague decided to develop materials inspired by a young man whose initials are H and P, but I’d expect Pearson to have got it right on copyright!

4. Dorian Gray did not suffer from eisoptrophobia – or did he, maybe?
