Picture Talk activity to build vocabulary and sentence writing

source: Asher Prior, Warrawong PS.


Picture Talk
A ‘Picture Talk’ is :
● A way to talk about words - what words you already know, introducing new words, using those words in sentences and linking ideas about your life to the picture.
● This can be spoken (and written) in your first language, English or both.
● You can use Google Translate to help with translations.



Example:




 1. Look at the picture for 1min.

2. Answer these questions (talk);

  • What is going on in this picture?
  • What do you see that makes you say that?
  • What more can you find?

3. Label the picture with all the words you know. Get help from a parent or use Google Translate to help with the words you don’t know.



4. Write some sentences about the picture. You can start with;
○ I see…
○ I think…
○ I wonder…
○ Or you can write a real or made up story using the picture as an idea.

*You can add the word “because” to make your sentence longer.
*Remember to tick off the words you use.
