Create Digital Images...


Halloween

Toy Store

Madame Tussaud Museum

The Library of Congress

Arabian Restaurant "Lebanese Taverna"


I’ve created a couple images that have rich cultural experiences to achieve ESL standards in order of understanding of how English languages should work.Basically, the main idea of those images is to make ESL students to express (speaking and writing) vocabulary and ideas correctly in English.
I chose one of interesting characters in the silver screen the volleyball “Wilson” from Tom Hanks movie’s “Cast Away” and put it in multiple places in DC. Firstly, I’d open a class discussion and the students will express their thoughts in English about: where’s Wilson? Why she’s in that place? What’s she may doing? In the image of the restaurant I’d ask students to create conversation about eating at a restaurant such as: how to order a meal for Wilson…and so on. After that, I would ask the students to write a short paragraph about any of cultural experience in U.S. that interest them by putting themselves in Wilson’s shoes.

  1. This is an interesting conversation prompt. I think it works well as a series of images, as you have done here. In the future, consider using an image that is not copyright protected (the class can probably create a character to put in all of these scenes).
