Listen and draw (Saddik)

Procedure

• Draw two big squares (frames) on the board.
• Draw a simple design using geometrical shapes and lines in one square.
• Explain that you are going to copy the design in the second square but you are not going to look at the first square. You are going to follow the instructions that the students give you.
• Invite a student to give you the first instruction.
• Go around the class eliciting instructions and building up the second picture.
• When an instruction is not clear, draw the wrong thing so that the student has to reformulate the instruction.
• Pair work: Now get students to draw a geometric design in their notebooks. Give a limited time (3 minutes) for this.
• Put students into pairs, A and B.
• Students take turns in describing their design to their partner so that they can make an exact copy.They are asked to record themselves and send their recordings by e-mail to their partners.
  
• Allow students to refer to the notes they made about prepositions and vocabulary.
