Friezes

These are long illustrations which can be displayed at the top or bottom of the wall. They
are usually used to displayed language in context, e.g. a farm.
Friezes can also be used to illustrate songs and stories. The example below could be done
as an illustration to the song Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

Posters are useful visual resources. They are ready-made, you can make yourself or in
class as part of a group activity. You can exploit posters in the following ways:
a) pre-teach vocabulary or brainstorm the vocabulary if you want to revise it.
b) introduce the characters.
c) find something – a game in which the children discover objects or actions that fit into a
given category.
d) Total Physical Response (TPR) – children mime or act out a short sequence of actions.
e) true or false statements – children decide which, by reference to the poster.
f) children learn a short dialogue based on the scene in the poster.
