I guess I'm going to start posting the lessons I have that are super fun and/or successful (hopefully both).
I did this one on Monday. I basically when through my computer/the internet and got tons of pictures that I had taken (friends, family, American college, general things in America) and numbered them 1-whatever. I also collected a bunch of famous or really influential photographs and labeled them A-Z.
In class, I put the list on the projector and would call on students one by one to pick a photo (I explained the difference between the numbered and lettered ones). Then, I would bring the photo up and make them tell them at least three things about the photograph (in English, obviously). It was super fun. After they finished describing it, I would take time to answer any questions, give them vocab or just explain something in the picture that they may not necessarily have in China. About 95% of the class was into it, they had awesome reactions to photos that came up and I got to feel like they were learning and I was teaching them.
My students got to utilize using English when put on the spot, learned new vocab and learned about American culture.
And it was super fun.
Good stuff,
- Andrew
