2. Mini blackboard activity:
* How will you use the digital images?
* What is the learning objective for the activity?  How will using digital images help the students to achieve this?
* Will individuals or pairs have a blackboard?
* Will individuals or pairs have a blackboard?
* What is the purpose of recording on a blackboard? For example, will all learners hold them up to show me their ideas? Will they discuss with peers? Will they record the results of a learning activity? Will they write or draw on the blackboards?
