This resource allows KS3 students to practise describing a photo or picture in French in more detail, similar to what will be required at GCSE level. I have also used it with Y9 students to get them started, as some feel that they are limited to simply describing what they see, and can forget to 'think outside the box'. Students really enjoyed taking it in turns to describe / draw pictures during pair exercise and 'vindictive' is always a popular game!
