Aim : speaking,writing,practicing grammar and sharing opinions.

Level : all levels

Time :30 - 40 minutes.

Preparation :

Have a big collection of pictures ( taken from magazines and newspapers ) that are not related to each other at all .

Try not to make it easy for them to create a story quickly ,just to give them a chance to debate about the events.

Procedure :

· Have students in groups of four.

· Let every group choose randomly a set of five pictures.

· Ask students to work within their group to create a story depending on the pictures they have.They can put the pictures in any order they wish.

· Remind students that five pictures doesn't mean five sentences only or just five events . They should expand.

· For beginners and low intermediate you can skip the point of practicing the grammar they've taken to give them a chance to concentrate on speaking ,creating and vocabulary.

· For upper intermediate and advanced it would be a good idea to ask them to use the grammar they've taken .

· When students are done ,they stand facing their classmates holding the pictures in the correct order and start telling their story.

If we have challenging groups ,they can ask their classmates to guess how their story ends,a kind of extra speaking,and then they tell their own end.
