Hi all,
If you haven't used these photographs yet, I highly recommend it. I did it
with my novice-high group and had them describe the pictures to a partner
who was trying to draw the same idea. We did four pictures (the skateboard,
bicycles, parachutes, and the surfing). They produced a lot of language and
it also got us to introduce some fun new vocabulary.
I'm going to use the pictures again today with my novice-mids, this time
we'll just be describing in a circle to start (taking away the info gap
this time).
Have a great Monday!
-Ashley
