They know the first 3 shapes already, some are cognates. Then reveal the answers again and get them to practise saying the shapes in pairs.

The following slides are all the different pictures that students can describe. If the shape is not recognisably anything they know, they should substitute the word ‘forma’ (shape) and describe its colour, position, size. You could choose to have them all do the same one as whole class at first or you could have laminated colour versions of all of the paintings and get them to do a painting in small groups or pairs. I think that this work should be spread over two lessons so that perhaps you get to the first whole class example by the end of lesson one, then recap the vocabulary at the start of lesson two and then proceed to describe the paintings. I think students in their pairs or small groups should practise describing their paintings so that they could do them orally from memory to the class. I think we might want to remove the real titles of the paintings at first?

Barbarian in the snow 1975

And the bird flew off to the pyramids 1954
