what are they saying at the moment the photo was taken?
tell or write a description of the photo. Obviously at the beginning levels this is a bit limited, but still do-able. I never cease to be amazed at the creativity of many kids — as well as the wild imagination of some — in coming up with ideas. Since many people use the same texts, perhaps some people could post ideas that you see for particular texts based on activities like these. What’s nice, I think, is that (except for Xeroxing a stamp catalog) it involves little preparation by the teacher and forces the students to actually pay attention to the illustrations in the book, which we presume have some cultural and/or linguistic value.
