Info Gap with Art and Drawing- Pick any 2 pictures, pieces of artwork, etc. that your kids can describe. (Remember not to underestimate them, they don't need to know EVERY word) Pair students and set up the students so that one person in each pair CANNOT see the image on display for the class. Have the student who CAN see the art describe it to their partner. Give them ample time, and help them with words that they may need. Don't allow them to use gestures, make them use their language (I make the describer sit on their hands to help with this!) You will want 2 pieces to use, because the students will want to switch roles, and it helps them describe and use the language, and listen carefully to their peers When pairing students, consider pairing students with similar language abilities to avoid frustration. user:cartierm
