=Part 2.=

Exercise:
You will now work with a partner to create a screencast that captures your work as a team in practicing the use of common prepositions in English (above, below, next to, on, between…)

Person A—The Narrator: “A” looks at a picture of a bedroom and describes the position of the following 6 objects in the room to “B” without letting “B” see the picture. --bed, chair, table, mirror, window, pitcher



Person B— The Illustrator: “B” listens to “A” describe the position of various objects in a bedroom and uses the tablet to draw what s/he hears. The screencast should capture A’s oral descriptions and B’s corresponding drawings.

Reflection:
How could you use this type of screencasting to create language practice opportunities for your students? (Scribe)
