18. 1. Say a category in TL and give students seconds (no longer!) to draw something e.g. ‘un animal’ 2. Do this 4 times with different categories 3. They tear their scrap paper into the 4 pieces (or ‘flashcards’ 4. They spend 2 minutes teaching each other their 4 words. 5. They spend 1 minute giving an opinion of each other’s drawings. E.g. J’aime ton éléphant – c’est chouette! 6. They the ask each other if they have one of each thing and respond e.g. Tu as un élephant? 7. Finally they have to incorporate the item into a longer sentence, using for example a different time frame or reason, as appropriate to the stage of learning of the class. Gracias a Steven Fawkes 6
