Be a word detective
Can your words help someone picture an object they cannot see?
Take your time. Speak, draw or write your answers.
Here is what is happening.
Describing words add detail: a round lid, a smooth leaf, a quiet room. A useful description tells what you notice. Different languages can describe the same thing in different ways.
Pause. Make the idea your own.
Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?
You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.Your little investigation
What you need
One safe everyday object, or an object you remember.
Choose an object. Think about its shape, texture and use.
Give three clues without naming it. You may speak, write or gesture.
Ask which clue helped most. Add its name in another language you know.
Which word describes a shape?
