This activity is a writing and drawing activity, but definitely for a higher level class.
- First, I give students one card of the Tanabata story each. They have to draw a simple picture based on this sentence.
- Then, collect the drawings and redistribute to the students randomly.
- Students must write a sentence based on what is happening in the picture (and their knowledge of the Tanabata story).
- Then, I check the story with them together. As I read each part, I ask students to raise their hand when I call their part of the story, and ask them to read their sentence aloud. Then we check how accurate they were in guessing which part of the story it was.
I do this activity with my SHS students and they always enjoy them every year!
