I found some on Google and Bing. There are some ESL ones that can be used.

Katie,
I love these! Do you have a site or reference where I can get more of the
sequience stories? I imagine I could use any comic and just cut it up. But, I
like how it's just ready to go! :)

I have a few activities that seem to elicit a desire for new vocab and topics.
Then I can usually find a thread to work from to get them thinking and speaking
at a higher level:
1) a sequence story (attached example) where they have to put the pics in
order and tell what is happening. I cut out the pics and put them in an
envelope.
2) A high interest song, such as "Oyeme," where they read through the
lyrics and ask about unknown vocab before listening/singing.
3) 4 pics, 1 word (see attached) where they get into small groups, guess
the word, and then answer increasingly more difficult questions about the topic.
These activities usually generate lots of vocab, and topics (or mini-units, if
you will) will arise naturally from them. That's what I use to plan for the
next day/week.
Hope you find these helpful!

Hi all,
I am in one of those ruts Tom and others in the group have talked about...
With midterms coming up, I feel like my students have barely progressed from
quarter 1 topics including body parts, colors, animals, and descriptions. Where
do I go from here? I've seen documents (thanks, Nanosh, for the most recent
one) with standard Spanish I questions - where do you live, when's your
birthday, etc. I have avoided that route because of my mission to make
everything "organic." Now it seems like I've come to a dead end and I need more
structure with what I'm bringing to class. I've had more than enough of talking
about animals, colors, and body parts all the time, and I'm SURE my students
are too.
How have you progressed this year?
What are your students working on?
How have you brought in new topics and created interesting progressions?
Can people weigh in about using units versus being against using units?
Thanks so much for any input!
Heidi
