Collage 3

Everybody should make their own collage. This collage will be your self-introduction. Your classmates will look at the pictures and small things. Then they will learn new things about you. 

Come to class with your collage on November 21st. Here is your teacher's collage. Its not beautiful, but it's OK:


Look at the pictures/objects etc. on each collage and ask Yes-No questions.
一邊看圖片/小物體等等一邊猜這個東西代表甚麼。請用這一類的句型來發問:
Can you …? Are you …? Have you …? Do you …? Is that ...?


1(指著小圖#1I see a picture of a man with a dog. 
問:Do you have a dog? 你現在養狗嗎?
答:Well, I used to have a dog, but now I live on campus, so I can’t take care of a dog. I like doggies very much.我以前養狗,可是現在住校,不能養狗。我非常喜歡狗狗。

2(指著小圖#2I see a little girl with a rhino.
問:Have you been to (Africa)? 你去鍋非洲嗎?
問:Do you like big animals? 你喜歡大型動物嗎?
答:I’ve been to North Africa, but there are no rhinos there. 我去過北非,可是那裡沒有犀牛。For me, this picture means: “It’s not good to always think about danger.” 對我來說,這個圖片的意思是:「不要一直擔心危險」。Sometimes you need to trust other people. 有時候要信任別人。

5
(指著小圖#5That place looks like a university.

Collage-1

On November 14th, we will be looking at collages (拼貼畫)

This collage is called "Purple"
"Purple" is a collage made with old photos, stamps, a real butterfly, pieces of cloth and other things.

This collage is called "Red"
"Red" has many red things: a Bingo card, a movie ticket, a lipstick container, a spool of thread and other things on it. "Red" is quite beautiful, but you don't need to make your collage so beautiful.

Collage-2

A collage is a special kind of picture. To make a collage, first collect some beautiful or interesting pictures and small things. Look around your house (old magazines, maps or catalogs) or when you go outside (a supermarket flyer, for example). Look inside your desk or in your closet. Think about these things: Do they have special meaning for you?

Here are two more collages:

Zetti collage sheet
Crowabout Collage for Week 71

On November 14th, you will show your collages to your teacher. 拼貼畫算小考分數!Please keep them secret! 拼貼畫要保密!11越21日以前,只有老師可以看喔!

If there is a problem, your teacher will help you make the collage better. On November 21st, you will all sit in small groups and look at other people's collages. The collages will be used for self-introductions (自我介紹). You will ask questions like this. 根據圖片內容可以用英文像以下這樣的問題。

(拼貼畫有一張小小的台灣地圖,地圖上高雄圈起來了,於是問畫家{=同學})
Q: Are you from Kaohsiung?
A: Yes and no. I was born there, but I grew up in Hsinchu. 可以說「是」,也可以說「不是」。我在那裡出生,可是我在新竹長大。Have you been to Kaohsiung? 你去過高雄嗎?
