 * [|Cartoon Idioms]. If you work with students on using and understanding idiomatic expressions, check this site. Select an idiom from the list on the right and you will see a the literal meaning in the box on the lower left. To see a cartoon illustrating the idiom, click on **Activities** in the menu bar at the top, then select **Cartoons.** You can select an idiom, then play a short animated cartoon with speech and text to demonstrate the meaning of the idiom. (Warning, I did find one that used the word da**ed (no, not darned) so check before you use with students.)**
