« There was an old woman who swallowed a fly » a class room activey I use, has 9 pages takes the children about 2 hours to complete.

Zone de Texte: 45 min to finishes I used photos of Desert land, mountains, farm land, timber land, swamp land that I stuck on the board. Then I show the class 2 Texas maps one uncolored and one that I colored showing the students where these lands are in Texas. Then we color each one « together » I would show them cards of animals form each land we colored to encourage them « not to go coloring everything all at one time »

This Project my students loved, not only did the students love it but the other teachers as well. (Takes 3 class hours to finish)

Before I gave the photo copy of the frame to draw the Picasso head, we would do drawing drills on the board (4 kids at a time, I had big classes).

I would say the English word and they had to draw FAST what I said.

Then you ask them “what did you draw?” Again they don’t understand your question and just repeat what I say “What did you draw?” You will answer then “a head an eye, and so forth.”

Next class I gave them blank paper and they had to draw just a line of heads, a line of noses, a line of eyes, so on and so on. I would say different parts and they had to draw them.

Ok you say they are learning to draw not speak, as you dictate body parts stop and ask different children what did you draw? Like always, they well look up at you with big eyes and just repeat what I say, but you will answer “a head, an eye, a mouth and so on”.

It takes some time but they will understand what you are trying to ask them.
