Drawing dictation

Introduction

In this lesson students will learn how to use prepositions of place correctly when they are describing a picture. Firstly, the students give the teacher a drawing dictation as a whole class. Then they work in small groups to give drawing dictations to each other. Teachers can adapt the level of this activity by making the language more or less complex. The core language from this lesson will be useful for oral exams in which students have to describe or compare pictures.
