Tell them they should be prepared to talk about it, giving answers to the questions below: Where and when did you take the photo? What was happening when you took the photo? What had happened just before you took the photo? Have you taken any similar photos? In the next lesson, students can take turns to show the class their photo and talk about it. Alternatively, students can show their photos to each other in pairs or small groups. Monitor while students are working, and note down any errors in the use of tenses to deal with in a feedback session at the end. Webquest If students are interested in the topic of wildlife, they could search online to find information about an animal or bird that they are interested in. There are plenty of wildlife and conservation sites that have information and photos that students can download. Students could choose a wildlife photo and imagine they took it. They could write a short text about the photo, giving some information about the animal and explaining how they took the photo. You could use students work as a display in the classroom.
