Grammar point: Genitive Case/Possessive Adjectives
App: Photo Crop
Operating System: iOS (iphone or ipad)
Price: free
Internet Status: online
Website be used: Google Images
Number of devices required : 1 per student, if available
Instructions:
Ask students to go to Google Images and search for the photo of any
celebrity they want to. Tell them to save that photo into their device's
library. Then, explain that they should open that saved picture in the
app Photo Crop and crop it so that only a part of the body of that
celebrity can be seen (Ex: nose, eyes, hair, mouth, legs, etc). Then,
classmates should guess who that celebrity is by making sentences in the
Genitive Case (ex: These are Angélica's eyes/This is Justin Bieber's nose/ This is Obama's mouth/etc). Then, students should reveal who the celebrity is by showing the original picture.
Tips:
Always model how to do it before the students actually start the activity.
Tell students to look for good quality photos, specially the one with a close-up on faces.
Make this activity more sophisticated by asking students to
practice asking questions and giving complete answers so that they can
practice the pertinent grammatical structures ( ex: Whose eyes are
these?/ Whose nose is this?/ Whose hair is this?/ No, this isn't
Justin's nose/No, these aren't Angélica's eyes/ No, This isn't his
mouth/ Yes, this is her hair)
Transform it into a game by dividing class into 2 teams.
