As I mentioned in a previous post, I've found that Google Gemini can be very useful for creating images to use in the classroom to illustrate grammar or vocabulary.
I recently used Google Gemini to create several images that can be used as prompts for comparative adjectives.  The chat in which I created those images can be viewed here. (If you read that chat, you'll note that a few of the images weren't exactly what I wanted, but overall I got enough to use for my class.)
I subsequently put those prompts on a slideshow for a lesson here (slides, pub).  This is for displaying to students and also to make it easier to print them out.  The images start on slide 18.
The slideshow is part of a larger lesson, which I'll post separately in a future post.

These pictures can also be used to elicit regular base adjectives not in the comparative form--i.e. the picture of the old man and the young woman could be "The man is older than the woman", but it could also be "The man is old. The woman is young", depending on the objectives of the lesson.  In my class, I used these images one day for base adjectives, and the next day for comparative adjectives.
