Welcome to the 'Lets Write in Cantonese!' pack.
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Cantonese. The students could write about a topic in Cantonese before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.

Welcome to the Let’s Talk in Finnish! pack.
This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
What works very well is for the two pictures to be directly projected on a wall. The teacher talks about the top picture, such as in my picture, I can see two seagulls flying;... then the students model their responses, using the sentence structure provided by the teacher.
