This is an activity to be done as a whole class and then in pairs to encourage collaborative work.
It is thought for two periods of class or a maximum of three.
Students are going to revise the adjectives to express feelings, the modal verbs for deduction, the Present Perfect, and are going to be involved in speaking, listening, reading and writing. We will practise asking and answering questions, too.
The set of pairs of pictures in the link will be projected:
We will ask them as a class to describe the pictures in general, paying attention to the clothes, and how we dress differently nowadays.
They will hopefully come up with different adjectives to express feelings (for example, Queen Elizabeth is worried and then happy, Napoleon is proud, and then, satisfied,etc.).
We will ask them if they like the pictures and which one they like the most.
Later, in pairs, they wil discuss what they think might have happened to the people portrayed so as to change their mood (Napoleon might have won a battle, for example or the photographer might have told Henry to say "whisky", etc.)
Next, in pairs, they will interview one of the characters in order to guess why they were feeling one way and then another way later. (for example, asking the man in the Gothic pair: "had your wife told you a joke?"). This interview, they will read to the class later.
As a follow up, they will have to bring to class, this time individually, two pictures either of themselves, or paintings of their choice, and show them to the class, telling them how they or the person in the painting-photograph felt first and later, and what might have happened to them.
To finish with, if they wanted, one day they could come to class dressing as one of the characters. And then play charade.
