Activity 1: Commenting on a series of images 1) show FRIT example of Rousseau paintings - have instructors choose 1 painting, comment on the painting, then look for another painting that already has a comment and respond to the comments. 2) show ESL210 example of “What Can You Use This For?” Lesson on “enough” vs “too”. - have teachers add to the VoiceThread and use the pen feature ** Discussion : How would you change this activity to make it more communicative? -3) The Simpsons : In the picture of the "Group" that you've been assigned to, become one of the family members and record what he/she/it would like to watch on the TV. Then, after reading what everyone else has decided, come to a consensus as to what the family would watch for the night.
