Instruction for the attachement called "Let's draw" (by Esther Robbins):
"Using blank folders, pairs of students face each other. Each student has a folder. One student has the picture and the other student has a blank piece of paper. Before beginning the lesson, I teach shapes, different types of lines, and positions on paper in terms of vocabulary. Then, the students’ job is to replicate the picture —one drawing and the other giving directions and answering questions. It’s an opportunity for expression as well as listening and at the end they have a picture which is often not exactly a duplicate of the original but something close with interesting errors that give the teacher more information about what needs to be clarified for the students."
