Humanising Language Teaching Year 5; Issue 4; July 03
Build words into a picture
Level :
Beginner to Advanced
Time :
15 minutes
Preparation
Choose 12 words from the next unit you are going to teach in the course book. They should be new words.
In class
- Tell the group that they are going to draw a picture incorporating some of the new words from the next unit. Each student should work on his/her own.
- Tell them the first word, either explaining its meaning in English, paraphrasing it with a known word, miming it, or translating it. They make a drawing representing it. Give them the second word and explain/translate it. They continue the picture incorporating the second word/idea. In this way they build each of the twelve words into one picture.
- Say the words again slowly, and ask them to write each word over its representation.
- Ask the students to compare their pictures.
