Each group will have to decide on a place from the list on the board and imagine you were there and describe how it was it. You have to include at least 5 objects and 5 prepositions, for example: there was a dog in front of the house, what is the preposition there? Ss answer. T: can anyone tell another preposition (T writes prepositions on the board: in front of, next to, inside, above) Very good, once you finished you will have to report to the class so, you need to write what is in the picture on your notebooks. The idea is that when you report, each of you will have to read something from the description but without showing the picture to your classmates yet. Because while you are reporting, your classmates have to draw the description. So that each group has to draw all the memorable places and then everyone will have the same drawing. T: So, do you have to show your
