Imaginative Description

Imaginative Description

Procedure :

• Hold up two large pictures for the class and let the students see them.
• Ask the students to suggest a possible relationship between them.
• Encourage imaginative, even ridiculous ideas from the two different pictures shown by the teacher.

For example :

(The teacher is holding a picture of mountain and a picture of a book)

• Student A : “I can go to mountain and bring a book.”
• Student B : “My father found a book when he climbed the mountain.” 
• Student C : “Climbing mountain without reading a book is boring.” 
• Student D : “When I visited Slamet Mountain, I bought this book. 
• Student E : “My teacher is holding a picture of mountain and a picture of a book.”

• The connections can be personal, or they can be more objective and part of other people’s experience.

Variation :You can ask the students to imagine a connection between an/two items : picture/picture ; text/text ; picture/text. The text can be short or long, written or spoken.
