pictures can provide reference for <strong>the</strong> students as <strong>the</strong>y answer nr ask questions, make<br />

students and <strong>the</strong>n use picture flash cards to cue variations. Usually this kind <strong>of</strong> work<br />

is possible, however, Lo plan <strong>the</strong> activity so that <strong>the</strong> student must give more thought lo<br />

meaning before speaking. In <strong>the</strong> example below, <strong>the</strong> student has a choice <strong>of</strong> what to<br />

say based on his or her general knowledge. The teacher writes <strong>the</strong> model on <strong>the</strong><br />

board.<br />

TEACHER: (showing a picture <strong>of</strong> a horse and pointing a student) what about horses,<br />

Edwina? - -<br />
