Dear FCE and CAE teachers,
I've just made a VOICETHREAD in which all sts can practise recording picture description. The recording can be done in class or for HW. For the first slide I invite teachers to record a tip to help sts describe pictures and the other slides are for sts to try it out.
http://voicethread.com/share/655485/
To record, click COMMENT, and RECORD (you need a microphone). You can also type your tip instead of recording it (if you're shy :o)
I hope you can all make good use of the tool. The more students record their descriptions the more examples (ideas) they will have.
SUGGESTED ACTIVITY:
1. Show the voicethread in class. Show the first picture (second slide) and ask sts to brainstorm vocabulary they can use to describe the picture (in pairs)
2. Sts write down a picture description for the picture. (the script should have no more than a minute ) (Teacher should be going round the room monitoring)
3. Ask St A from the pair to practise reading the picture description to his/her partner.
4. Get some volunteers to record their picture descriptions in class with a microphone to the voicethread.
5. Assign more picture description for Homework.
