Yesterday in the class, when I took the test, somebody called me. When my cell phone started ringing, I felt embarrassed because I knew, we were not supposed to use cell phones in the class. But, I have learned now, before the class start, I have to turn off my cell phone.

Warm Up Beginning Levels: Review Clothing items, colors and basic styles Intermediate Levels: Review clothing items, colors, basic styles, materials and any other necessary vocabulary for students to be able to describe clothing.

effective models.
o

Model for Beginning Level can be sentence level description based on

class. Model for Intermediate level:http://www.susangaer.com/esl2009/favorite_clothes.pdf 1)Have students read some samples at http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/favorite %20clothes
o

Ensure comprehension of the model (ask students basic questions about the model)

Have students take pictures with their cellphone and practice texting them to the instructor using their cellphones. If some students do not have texting as part of their cellphone, have them work in groups with those that do. For those students who have smartphones, use a photo sharing site and students can upload their photos directly to the photo sharing site.

Photo Sharing Sites: Flickr Picasa Google+ Homework: Students go home, take picture of their favorite piece of clothing in their closet. This can be done with hats, bags, t-shirts, jewelery etc (Note in the models that men had no problem writing about their clothing item.)

Practice (Day 3) In pairs or small groups, students share their photos. (Be sure to develop questions based on your level. Beginning level classes may only answer what, where and when. Make a handout to guide them using some of the following questions: o What did you take a picture of? o Describe your item: (color, style, material) o Where did you buy this item? o When did you buy this item o Why did you choose this item? Share select stories with the whole class Homework: Students write paragraphs (It is ok for beginning level students to only write a few sentences such as This is a picture of my favorite dress. My mother gave it to me when I was 10. It is blue and I wear it a lot. I love my dress.)

Evaluation:(Day 4)

Have groups edit work. I use Google docs and have students share their doc with me so that it is easy for me to put them together for a publication in the application setting. Help groups with editing by providing a checklist of things to look for. (Create a writing checklist at http://4teachers.org/projectbased/24wrt.shtml) Homework: Students rewrite paragraphs

Application Either you or students can compile stories into a student publication to share with the class or school.

Using the Camera in a Cell Phone: Lesson Ideas

Ideas from Susan Gaer her. Take a picture of your refrigerator. Describe it and about the food in your refrigerator. Take a picture of someone in your family. Describe the person and write why you chose him or

Ideas from Marian Thacher

like take a picture of your favorite fruit, or a fruit from your country, or something in the grocery story that you would never buy, a car you wish you had, a street sign, a sale sign in a store (math lesson). If the photos are sent to the teacher, or to picasa, you could make a matching or bingo game out of them.

Ideas from Steve Quann (Group Lessons)

Guess What it is? A portion of an object is taken with the class guessing. Or better yet teams go and find the object, take picture of it and the first one to get it to the teacher wins! Small Group Frames a Shot: In groups of three, one person being the photographer the others pose for a shot. For example for beginners, two sit and talk at desk. Class sees the image and generates possible things they are doing and tries to guess what they were intending to act out. Just talking chatting or interviewing for a job. More advanced could be what did they just do or have been doing? Or act out an idiomatic expression. Raining cats and dogs? hmm Might need some blackboard drawing for background. :-) What emotion am I feeling? Students snap shots of various emotions class guesses what they are feeling What wrong with this picture? Students create a scene where something is out of place and class has to identify what is wrong. 10 TESOL 2013 Using Mobile Devices by Susan Gaer is licensed under a Creative Commons AttributionNonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Believe It or Not? After students are comfortable with the camera have them be on the look out for unusual things they see and take a week to see how many they can capture in their community or around the house.

Ideas from Carla Arena

Wood has a lot of character and variety. Take a photo of something wooden. In small groups, you will describe the objects using descriptive adjectives.
