Thanks for the lesson plan Sally! Talking about ideal schools is always a winning idea and Jamie's Dream School gives a great starting point. There are lots of clips on Youtube which could be used as an introduction to the lesson. Check out the Dream School Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/DreamSchool
