You can see Jamie Keddie, who we had the pleasure of seeing and hearing in Pamplona, doing some "videotelling".
What do you think? Do you think you'd enjoy being a student in this class?
In any case, we do picturetelling and videotelling all the time. Think about all those times you tell a friend about a photo you saw on Facebook or a video you saw on the internet. Can you do it in English, though?
I propose a challenge: Go to The Guardian section "In Pictures" and choose one of the images there. Try to describe it for a classmate, friend, partner, giving them clues about the picture/video. If it is a picture, it would be fun to ask the other person to draw the image they have in mind.
Example:
Afterwards, debate and see if their mental image actually matched the real thing or not.
It's really fun!!
Check Jamie Keddie's blog here (lots of good stuff to study English).
