* Discuss with your colleagues (from the same grade) which topics you have coming up next week, and whether some of these topics would work particularly well with groupwork and ICT.

* Choose a topic which you are teaching, and for which this type of activity is useful. Find some appropriate images, and plan your own presentation for your students to re-order. You can find pictures that are open resources (Creative Commons licensed) at http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/.

* Make active use of the computers to identify useful images together and download them. Read the following background text if you need help with downloading Flickr images.
