Tip #3: Describe
the Picture
Purpose: To practice present, progressive tense
Preparation Time: 15
minutes
Materials: copies of a
picture for each pair of students; paper/pencils
Preparation: Find a
picture or drawing with a lot of action in it. Make enough copies for
each pair of students to have a copy.
Procedure:
- Have students work in pairs.
- Give them a copy of the picture.
- Give them two minutes to just look at the picture.
- Give them three minutes to talk about what they see in the picture, generating sentences in the present progressive tense (e.g., The men are cooking).
- Give them five minutes to write as many sentences as they can describing what they see happening in the picture.
- The pair with the most correct sentences
wins.
