GROUP TASK: ‘THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE’

We’re going to start reviewing our previous knowledge of English, i.e. what you remember from last year through photography…

To do that, you’ll imagine you’re English photographers and you’ll distribute in groups of four to take photos of things related to the list below. In case you don’t find any object related to the list in the classroom, you can find them at home or anywhere else, or even you can draw a picture of the objects in particular. The next day, you’ll have to give a short presentation of some of your photos to the rest of the class.
