The topic Achievement tests represents a specific aggregation or gathering of resources found in Macomb Public Library District.
We teachers know, probably even more than other professionals, that what the old phrase says is true: a picture is worth a thousand words. We experience the wealth of possibilities offered by visual stimuli everyday. We use pictures to teach, practice or review vocabulary, to do guided oral and writing practice, as visual clues to help in listening-comprehension and as starters for activities such as role plays and class discussions. And we choose to use images because we realize that they actually make explanations simpler, save students lots of effort and add a touch of colour to our classes. In other words, most teachers agree that they actually work!
ZIn speaking and listening-comprehension activities, where a student “dictates” a picture for a partner to choose the right picture.
ZAs a variation of the previous activity, to work with a set of pictures with something in common (let’s say people using computers in different environments) so the discussion relates to this particular element, comparing its use in the different contexts.
ZFor students to make up the story behind the picture. Then they can use a site like Storybird to write their story.
ZAs a variation of the previous activity, students can use Five Card Flickr to get five random pictures and invent the sequence of a story.
ZTo discuss about “fixing” problems in a picture (how would you improve or change a roo, a flat, a city?)
ZAs starters for role-playing conversations based on pictures of people talking (students take the place of different people in the picture).
ZPlaying Piggy goes... (students pass one card to the left or right and try to find the four cards that match or are related)
ZPlaying Who’s who? (students guess the character by asking yes/no questions and using descriptive vocabulary)
ZPlaying Partial pictures (where you show part of the picture and students have to guess the name of the object)
ZCollaborative writing (students are given an unrelated picture to write a pragraph in groups and then they have to work with other groups to make their paragraphs fit in a larger story)
Great list! I´d add a variation of one you mentioned .speaking and listening-comprehension activities, where a student “dictates” a picture for a partner to DRAW. This could be done in different ways. One could be a student "dictates" their room. Another one could be giving students copies of 2 naked characters, have students dress one and "dictate" how this character is dressed to a partner. We have to remember dominoes and memory games too. I have to pack now. Maybe we can go on sharing ideas when I return from my trip. Bye for now, and thank you

While I was pondering over what to do for my No Prints Allow Kona quilt I became camping season obsessed. I think I bought a whole store. One of my purchases was a new tent (more like a condo) and heavy duty stakes to go with it. I don't trust the stakes anywhere near the new tent so I made it into a quick day-project to make a tent stake bag and get my mind off the Kona quilt.
I used Amy Butler home dec fabric lined with fusible fleece. The interior is left over scraps of a sheet that I also interfaced. It's super thick and I'm hoping it's enough to not let them poke through and get anywhere near my precious tent.
I plan on this getting dirty so I covered it in Scotchguard. I'm sure that light interior won't be clean for long, but as long as it holds up then I don't care!
On a side note... we celebrated my husband's birthday! Check out this Double Chocolate Carmel Cake made by our friend:
And as a quick snack.. he made a vegetable plate. I think it's adorable just to look at. He says this is easy, but I couldn't make it look this nice if I tried.
I have been working on quilting projects... I finished most of my Kona quilt top and I'm in the middle of my Map Quilt. I love this fabric panel:
I'm still deciding how to quilt it. I'm not sure if I should meander all over or do some straight line quilting following the border. I thought about following the state lines in the center but I don't know how that will look on the back. (The back is the world map panel) Thoughts?
Your 'spike' case is great. I could hardly get past the picture of the cake. Like your idea of outlining the states. The world won't mind! You should add another button to your reactions: hungry.
Ugh! the Kona Quilt!! I'm totally lagging on getting it done! Ahem. As in...I haven't even started yet! : (
That cake looks amazing! And I love the map quilt....I think I had that panel when my kids were little--it looks very familiar ;-) Maybe crosshatch it? Or meander...but I wouldn't try to follow the states--too uneven and hard! Nice work (I'm still jealous of your zipper talents).... :-)
