This is a group activity for an introduction to English for junior high students. In this presentation, one group of students will be asked to look at a series of pictures and describe them to the opposite group. The group would then have to draw what was described to them [then visa versa]. There is also listening comprehension & modeling section where students are asked to listen to teachers do a simple introduction conversation and discuss with their partners the meaning and usage of the grammar. Finally there is a production stage where students create an original introduction script using the grammar to initiate conversations with their partners. [There is a lesson plan available, if you are interested in more please contact me on my Linkedin page and request the "2015 book 1 warm up lesson plan"]
