From a vocabulary list, students are each assigned a word. Then they:
1. Create five sentences that use their word, with appropriate context clues
2. Take one of these sentences and come up with a way that the word can be visualized
3. Take a picture using a digital camera
4. Once the photo has been approved by the teacher, they upload it to the class flickr page. On their post, they include the following:
- The word, spelled correctly
- Definition of the word
- Sentence that the photo applies to
Once the project is finished, students can have a "viewing party." Each student can present his/her word and picture to the class (Marcinek, 2009).
An idea that I had for my classroom is to have students search the creative commons aspect of Flickr for pictures that somehow relate to the repertoire we're playing. These pictures could be used in a slideshow that accompanies listening examples.
