The document provides descriptions from several students ("Dragonflies") of a picture they were shown. The descriptions show that the picture depicted a man talking on the phone in front of a statue, with the statue appearing to listen to the man's conversation. The man was also looking at a picture or cabinet in the scene. The descriptions varied in levels of detail but captured these key elements.

1. Writing Descriptions.
Thanks to Stephanie for helping with
writing!

2. Read through these
wonderful descriptions some
of the Dragonflies have
written. See if you can form a
mental image of the picture
they are describing.

In the picture I can see a
man on the phone and I think
that he is saying “I don’t want
to work here! So send a taxi
and bring me home so I can
get another job!” There is a
statue listening to him on the
phone. There is a painting on

statue looks like it is listening
to him on the phone. The
man has a blue top on and it
is weird.

back is facing you and the
man is on a phone beside a
girl statue that is looking at
you. The girl looks like it’s
looking at you.

is a man and he’s got his

to the man. But I don’t know
what he is saying.

I can see a man on the
phone and he is talking about
he wants to go home. And
there is a statue. The statue
looks like it is listening to the

picture. It has a sunrise.

11. Do you have an image in
your head now?
Have a look at the next slide
to see if it’s similar to the
picture the Dragonflies were
looking at.
