My students are all so artistically talented. It is unfair...

We were teaching my 3rd years relative pronouns (that, which, who) and I was told to think of an activity to practice.  Anything was fine, they said.  So, I thought of a sort of fun activity that is listening practice.  I will admit the sentences are a bit odd, as in perhaps we would not say them in normal speech, but it worked, and it still tested their listening.  I said some sentences, and the students had to listen and draw a picture!  First the sentences, then the incredible artwork!

1.  There is a lake that is in the middle of a park.
2.  There are five trees that are by the lake.
3.  There is a girl who is sitting under a tree.
4.  There is a man who is swimming in the lake.
5.  There is a table that is by the lake.
6.  There is a cake that is on the table.
7.  There are two ants that are eating the cake.
8.  There are four flowers that are under the table.
9.  There is a boy who is riding his bike by the table.
10.  There is a giraffe that is listening to music by the lake.
11.  There is a woman who is eating ice cream by the giraffe.
12.  There are two monkeys that are playing soccer.

Ok, those were the sentences.  Here are some randomly selected results:

  2. This is so funny! I was looking myself up, and I am also named Elissa... and called "Elissa-sensei" by my Japanese students (I taught as and ALT from JET program for 3 years...I just returned to the States in August). Small world!

    I had a Geocities site for my teaching...but it went down along with Geocities...Best of luck to a fellow Elissa-sensei!
