Excellent English education poster potted in my school hallway:
(Click here to zoom in.)
The poster's text:
---
I CAN SMELL FREEDOM!
Frame 1 [two turkeys talking]
TURKEY 1: Hey, Paul!
TURKEY 2 (PAUL): Huh?
Frame 2[T1 pointing to a massive wall]
TEXT: WHAT A WONDERFUL WALL!
T1: Look! There's a world of freedom over that wall.
PAUL: Really? Awesome! It's like the Berlin Wall! Cool. man!
Frame 3 [both turkeys leaping over massive wall]:
SAID TOGETHER: Wow! We're free!
Frame 4 [both turkeys pressing faces to ground out of gratitude]
SAID TOGETHER: I can smell freedom!
Frame 4 [turkeys gazing at campus-type building in the hazy distance]
PAUL: You know what? I think I'll take the Eiken test and then study abroad in Australia!
T1: Sounds great!
PAUL: I'm gonna give it a shot. You should try, too!!

I can honestly say that I wish I had made the text up, because that would mean I was responsible for the copy of one of the greatest posters in the history of man.
