- have students facing a partner, one sees the board and one cannot.
Describe the entire photo to your partner so they can draw it.
-name x amount of things in the photo, partner guesses what it is
-20 questions, same
-describe someone in the photo's life (family, friends, living situation,
job, dreams, etc.)
-general questions: what was happening in the world when this photo was
taken? What happens next? Etc.

We can brainstorm more Monday...
