| Title | Lesson and Activity Ideas from NCLRC |
| Body | From http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/materials_by_language/universal.html#new The latest NCLRC newsletter has several activities to share. The featured lesson is the following jigsaw activity: Purpose: To review vocabulary of the body, clothing, and prepositions of location. Materials: Several copies of works of art by artists representing the target language. Introduction: The more modern paintings seem to work better for this exercise because items are not always where they are expected to be, nor are the colors the conventional ones. For this example we chose Harlequin Musician by Pablo Picasso (on the left) Preparation: * Choose paintings the students have not seen before. * Paste copies of reproductions on lightweight cardboard or poster board. * Cut into irregular shapes, being sure to divide the more complicated parts of the painting into separate pieces. * Place each painting in a separate zip lock bag, marking the bag with the name of the painting, the artist, and the topic written in indelible marker on the bag. * Working in pairs, students put the jigsaw puzzle together. Separate groups so each puzzle is not visible by other groups. * Students then write a description of their puzzle, indicating where the various parts of the body are located. There must be a total of 6 items of clothing and/or body parts, 4 different prepositions of location, and a one-sentence description of the painting. * Possible items include: hat, feet, knees, arms, shoulders, ruffled collar, profile, face, ear * Students read the description to the class and the remaining students draw the painting according to the description. * Students compare their drawing with the original one. Assessment: • Written description • Oral presentation View this and other activity and lesson descriptions at http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/materials_by_language/universal.html#new . |
