Caption This Instagram Post!

This is an Instagram post template for students to create their own captions, present them, and write "comments" on their peers' captions. You can use the blank post and have students draw their own image, or you can use one of the premade posts with funny animal pictures I got from the web; I selected 8 different photos to print to give my students some variety among the class. This activity can be done individually or in groups. It also works well as a cultural exchange activity if your school hosts exchange students, for which you need to facilitate exchange activities like I do. It is good for any English level and you can adapt this lesson to focus on any grammar points you want to target. It is a fun activity meant to be interesting and encourages students to think creatively with their imagination. Best for JHS~SHS ages.
