  • “What you need to do is try to describe the item to your group members by using the passive voice. For example, if  I pick a card with a picture of a dictionary, I can say ‘’it is used to find the meaning of words, or ‘it may be bought by someone learning a language’”.

  • “After describing, your group members need to guess what you are talking about. So, please remember don’t show the picture to others. Only you can see the picture.”

  • “Please remember to take turns describing so everyone can make a guess and describe the item! Any questions?”

  • Check students’ understanding of the task.
