Perhaps for your predominantly female class, you could have them sketch 'mixed-up models' and give it a fashion promotion angle. ;)<br /><br />Looking forward to your 'pear-shaped' post!<br /><br />---------------------------------------------<br />Hi Tyson,<br /><br />I'm convinced almost any idea can be adpated. Any biology students amongst your EAP class? Or student vets? ;)DaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-84585219674900987492011-01-19T08:25:18.924+02:002011-01-19T08:25:18.924+02:00Very cool monsters!

And I like the fact that through repetition you refined the procedure from lessons learnt with earlier groups.<br /><br />I have to admit that I'm not convinced that drawing is something suitable for the EAP environment I teach in, nor that I personally feel comfortable with incorporating it into this context. I don't know, maybe I need to give adpatation some thought.Tysonhttp://coursetree.ca/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-2175753412786671682011-01-18T21:16:04.482+02:002011-01-18T21:16:04.482+02:00Excellent!

I need to have a go at the activity again and get a bit more language out of it. Perhaps with a class I'm doing business English with I might get them to try and sell them as paintings or market them as action figures... but then that class is almost entire 19-22, female and European, so maybe not. I'll definitely give it a go again. And I'll have a go at your 'when it all goes pear shaped' challenge fairly soon!<br /><br />Mike =)Mike Harrisonhttp://www.mikejharrison.comnoreply@blogger.com
