A few ideas/suggestions on how to use this resource: Adapt the Resource – Before introducing this resource to your students, you may wish to tweak it to better suit their needs. Introduce and Expand Vocabulary – Go through the vocabulary with your students, identifying and labeling unfamiliar words in their native language. This can be done section by section or for the entire table, depending on your students and circumstances. Encourage them to add any additional relevant vocabulary! Model Photo Descriptions – Demonstrate how to describe a photo, either yourself or together with students. Use PLA (People, Location, Action) and the acronym WhoWheRAC (Who, Where, Relationship, Appearance, Location) to guide their descriptions of people. Encourage Regular Practice – Give students frequent opportunities to describe photos using the resource. An effective approach is to describe multiple photos in one single session, as this reinforces structured descriptions, boosts confidence and enhances motivation. Incorporate Written Practice – If feasible, get students to write a photo description as homework using the resource as a guide. :)

From a psychological perspective, this method leverages the “bizarreness effect,” a well-documented memory phenomenon where the brain encodes and recalls unusual, absurd or emotionally engaging information more effectively than mundane facts. Why It Works: Attention & Novelty - The absurdity (“I am a pot of jam”) triggers the hippocampus to prioritize the information as noteworthy. Dual Coding - Pairing words with vivid mental images (e.g., a dancing clam) engages both verbal and visual memory systems. Emotional Engagement - Humour and rhyme activate the amygdala, enhancing retention by linking emotion to learning. :) French Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense: /teaching-resource/-13281711
