Back to Back
Resources:
A description/a piece of text.
What to do:
Students should sit back to back with each other.
One by one they should read out their descriptions. Whilst one is reading the other is to draw what they hear.
I have used this to get students to understand the characteristics of gothic characters or to analyse language features in text.
Variations:
Once the students has drawn their image they could annotate it using quotes from the description/text they are having read to them.
