6) Create a “clothes catalogue scene”:
We will need to bring in some old catalogues or magazines .We put the class into small groups and give each group a catalogue, a large piece of construction paper/card, scissors and some felt tip pens.We tell the students that they have 10 minutes to create a scene with lots of people. They need to cut out clothes from the catalogue and draw to create the picture.It will help if we have already created our own scene so students can see what they have to do. As everyone is creating their scene, we walk around the classroom asking questions related to the vocabulary ( What is he wearing?) and help with new words.Finally have each group present the scene using the structure “ He / She is wearing a blue hat”. We can put all the scenes on the classroom walls as decoration.
