Building a Picture

 Ok then, Here´s a little activity I like to do with all levels. In the format below it's best suited to FCE and CAE students.

	•      Elect two team captains and two vice-captains. •      Give the team captains one photo each. Only they can see the picture at this stage. •      The other students are the subjects of the picture. •      Captains have to arrange their subjects, verbally, in a manner which represents the picture. •      Vice-captains then have a minute to compare the two pictures whilst trying to guess what they represent. Give the below prompts if necessary.* •      After being given the question and context ask different students to repeat the task. •      Reveal the picture to everyone in the class. NB: I always take photos of the 'statues' and use them again later in the year. I also encourage students to bring in their own pictures and get other students to guess which of their classmates' photo they are describing.
		*Make sure you include: ·         The answer to the question.  •      Where the pictures were taken. •      How many there are people in the pictures. •      What time of day the pictures were taken. •      How the people in the pictures are feeling. •      What type of activity the people are doing. •      Why they are doing those activities. There is an example below:
