Storytelling is a creative way to use pictures.
Put your learners into pairs or small groups.
​Ask them to use the image as the subject for a mini saga:
- a mini saga is a story of exactly seventy words (you can specify another number, such as sixty if you wish)
- it must tell a story, and not simply describe a situation
- it can use some words from recent lessons
- give your learners a list of words: for example, six nouns, six verbs, six adjectives, six adverbs and six conjunctions
- their mini sagas must use at least three from each category
- students first create their saga orally, and then write it down
- each pair/group reads out its story and the class decides which is best
