3. Describe and draw a medieval village
Get into pairs – each give yourself a letter A and B. I need one or two Learning Spies – any volunteers? All the A people are going to be the describers. All the B people are going to be the drawers. Outside the classroom are 8 copies of a diagram of a medieval village. All the A people will go outside and have a look at the diagram 5 times. Their job is to report to the B people what the medieval village looks like. The B people’s job is to draw a medieval village based on A’s descriptions. The A people are not allowed to make any notes while looking at the diagram. Each look of the diagram will last one minute. Each drawing session will last one minute. The Learning Spy’s job is to check that there is no cheating!
