Using photos in EFL Classroom, part 3
We are all stories, right? We tell a new story, the same story, another story all the time and we do it in the class too.
Today I’m going to mention activities that can be used to create new stories for the theme “Using Photos in EFL Classes”.
You can either ask your students to bring some photos they have taken or you can choose the photos you’ve taken or as usual, go to #ELTpics and tell them to choose the pictures they want to think about and write their stories.
You can tell them to write
- 6 word stories (6 word stories)
- Twitter stories, that is 140 characters only per photo

On a cold sunny day in January, I took the tube to go to Covent Garden, I walked around a little. I heard a singer singing a beautiful song.
- A mini saga, which is a short piece of writing containing exactly 50 words, plus a title of up to 15 letters.
