You have found one of the most exciting and diverse activities to learn vocabulary in an active, refreshing, original way – using visual clues to verbalise differences. While your students distinguish anomalies in the images you’ve given them, they are actually learning the key vocabulary of the unit they’re about to begin. Too much fun!!!

You need a quick solution to catch your students’ attention and give them the keys to understanding a new unit. Here it is – negotiating, using critical thinking by looking at images and verbalising the differences.  Memorising academic language is ineffective in the long-term – your students may be able to pass an exam they are studying for, but without having used the terms to analyse, compare, categorise, and defend their own ideas, most students will forget the meanings of the words as quickly as they learned them.
The solution is easy. With this activity, your students will thank you because you will have created opportunities for them to use these words, terms and phrases while analysing, comparing, categorising, and defending their own ideas.
Too much fun!
