Activity Name: Draw This What materials do I need? None How long will this take? 10 -15 minutes Give me the gist: Students describe a picture to partner as their partner attempts to draw the picture being described. Helpful Hints: It may be a good idea for groups that are sitting next to each other to receive different pictures so that they drawer is not getting information from a neighboring speaker! Step by step: 1. Divide students into groups of 2 and have the students sit back to back. 2. Give one group member a copy of a detailed picture. 3. Tell group members that the person holding the picture is to describe, without using any motions or turning around, the picture to their partner while their partner attempts to draw it. In round 1: the drawer may not speak; however in round 2 the drawer will be able to speak. 4. After 3-5 minutes, have partners switch roles and give each group a new picture. What did we / Discussion 1. How did it feel to be successful / unsuccessful? 2. What was most frustrating about this activity? 3. How did it feel to be the person drawing the picture/describing the picture? 4. Was round 2, easier or harder? Why? Chapter Title: Let Me Clear My Throat
