| Title | Illustration Assignment Ideas |
| Body | A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activities that allow students to use pictures to illustrate text received the following suggestions. These assignments may be particularly suited to visual learners, but they might give you ideas for lessons for learners of a range of ages and abilities. ---- How about a book with illustrations? I did this using the imperfect. The students wrote 10 sentences about their childhood and then illustrated those sentences. We used white computer paper, we stapled it together, and the book cover was construction paper. You can do this using the future, or 'me gusta' ("I like") sentences. Alonzo, A. Re: Picture assignment. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (11 Nov. 2005). ---- I have my Spanish 1 students plan out a storyboard and write the Spanish that will go on each page. Then they use the school's digital camera to create illustrations. They have to use a lot of Spanish as they plot out the pages, design the illustrations, and pose the subjects. Sometimes we create Web sites using Netscape Composer; sometimes they print out the pictures and paste them in. In Spanish 2 they do the same thing, but their projects are how-to exercises: How to weave hair; how to choose the perfect date for the prom; how to get your mother yo change her mind about something. They become very creative and some of the stories and projects have a journalistic tinge to them that is engrossing. They are always proud of their work. Stracke, C. Re: Picture assignment.
