PRE-ACTIVITIES:

ACTIVITIES: Who's wearing what? 

Preparation: a collection of 18-20 pictures of people in three versions, each version containing 8-12 pictures, so that some pictures should appear in all three version and some in only one or two (you'll need a collection for each group). If you have no suitable pictures, download the ones on the Web page. Note: these are the sheets you can hand out to your students; this zipped file is in Word for Windows .doc format.

1. Tell the students to form groups of three. 

2. Give each group member a different copy of the pictures and tell them that they mustn't show their pictures to each other. 

3. Tell them that some people appear in all versions, some in only one or two. Their task is to describe the clothes the people in their pictures are wearing and find who else in the group has got the same picture. 

4.To make checking answers easier, tell them to write the name of the student in the group above the picture who's got it, too.

FEEDBACK/EVALUATION:

FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITY:

To be done in the classroom.

You can make it into a competition, when the winner is the group to finish first; mistakes can be penalised by adding half a minute to their time.

However, if you have a very competitive group, the activity might turn (cont’d) into chaos with students hurrying and interrupting one another. 

It's best done with pictures of people of the same sex and preferably same age/height/build so that students should really concentrate on the clothes; if you have difficulties finding suitable pictures, contact the Web page creator and  he’ll send you two collections.
