This is a simple activity to test the students’ observing and analytical skills on comparing and contrasting photos. Some of the photos included in the presentation are before-and-after scenarios, memes, oppositions, and places. They just need to exhaustively analyze the similarities and differences between the photos in each slide using the expressions below.
Remember to moderate the class as some of the students might disagree what their colleagues will say about certain comparisons, descriptions, and analysis.
You should ask the participation of the whole class for this activity. Remember to explain the expressions as well.
