in the class. But, I have learned now, before the class start, I have to turn off my cell phone

effective models.

o Model for Beginning Level can be sentence level description based onclass.o Model for Intermediate lev-el:http://www.susangaer.com/esl2009/favorite_clothes.pdf

1)Have students read some samples at http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/favorite%20clothes

Ensure comprehension of the model (ask students basic questions about themodel)

2 Have students take pictures with their cellphone and practice texting them to theinstructor using their cellphones. If some students do not have texting as part oftheir cellphone, have them work in groups with those that do. For those studentswho have smartphones, use a photo sharing site and students can upload their photos directly to the photo sharing site.

Photo Sharing Sites: Flickr Picasa Google+ Homework: Students go home, take picture of their favorite piece of clothing intheir closet. This can be done with hats, bags, t-shirts, jewelery etc (Note in the modethat men had no problem writing about their clothing item.)

Practice (Day 3)

In pairs or small groups, students share their photos. (Be sure to develop ques-tions based on your level. Beginning level classes may only answer what, where andwhen. Make a handout to guide them using some of the following questions:o What did you take a picture of?o Describe your item: (color, style, material)o Where did you buy this item?o When did you buy this itemo Why did you choose this item? Share select stories with the whole class Homework: Students write paragraphs (It is ok for beginning level students toonly write a few sentences such as This is a picture of my favorite dress. My mothergave it to me when I was 10. It is blue and I wear it a lot. I love my dress.)

Have groups edit work. I use Google docs and have students share their doc witme so that it is easy for me to put them together for a publication in the applicationsetting. Help groups with editing by providing a checklist of things to look for. (Create awriting checklist at http://4teachers.org/projectbased/24wrt.shtml)

Homework: Students rewrite paragraphs

ApplicationEither you or students can compile stories into a student publication to share with theclass or school.

Using the Camera in a Cell Phone: Lesson Ideas

Ideas from Susan Gaer

Take a picture of your refrigerator. Describe it and about the food in your refrigerator.

Take a picture of someone in your family. Describe the person and write why you chose him or

her.

Ideas from Marian Thacher

like take a picture of your favorite fruit, or a fruit from your country, or something in the grocer

story that you would never buy, a car you wish you had, a street sign, a sale sign in a store (math les-

son). If the photos are sent to the teacher, or to picasa, you could make a matching or bingo game ou

of them.

Ideas from Steve Quann (Group Lessons)

Guess What it is?

A portion of an object is taken with the class guessing. Or better yet teams go and find the object, tak

picture of it and the first one to get it to the teacher wins!

Small Group Frames a Shot: In groups of three, one person being the photographer the others

pose for a shot. For example for beginners, two sit and talk at desk. Class sees the image and gener-

ates possible things they are doing and tries to guess what they were intending to act out. Just talking

chatting or interviewing for a job. More advanced could be what did they just do or have been doing? O

act out an idiomatic expression. Raining cats and dogs? hmm Might need some blackboard drawing forbackground. :-)

What emotion am I feeling?

Students snap shots of various emotions class guesses what they are feeling

What wrong with this picture?

Students create a scene where something is out of place and class has to identify what is wrong.

Believe It or Not?

After students are comfortable with the camera have them be on the look out for unusual things they

see and take a week to see how many they can capture in their community or around the house.

Ideas from Carla Arena

Wood has a lot of character and variety. Take a photo of something wooden. In small groups, you will describe theobjects using descriptive adjectives.
