Hey everyone, John from Cool English with a couple of new activities to share. This week I have picture dissection 5 (Pixar-themed) and picture description 5. Both are easily adaptable for Basic, Inter, or even Advanced students.
Picture Dissection – dissect a picture into the different parts of speech. Ask your students to identify the main nouns and verbs in the picture, then click a button to reveal them. For intermediate level, I ask them to modify the nouns with adjectives, and advanced level can modify the verbs with adverbs. You can click to reveal any of the four (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs), then click again for them to disappear. Finally, ask them to join all the words into a phrase.
Picture Description – describe pictures using the words provided. Choose Easy (4-words) or Hard (8-words), and ask the students to describe the picture using the provided words. Basic to Intermediate, I use the Easy level and more advanced students, I use the Hard level, or the Easy but ask them to make it harder by adding the other four words themselves.
I find both are great ways to get your class speaking and engaging reviews for the Cambridge speaking tests.
Check back next week for more Cool English activities.
John
