Take turns reading the following information to each other. If you’re being read to, close your eyes and build a picture of the scene in your head. Once the descriptions
are finished, draw the picture you have in your head on paper. Check it against the written information. It does not have to be a bird’s-eye view.
Reader 1
1 You’re in a square-shaped park. In the top right hand corner is a large tree.
2 In the centre of the park is a pond. This pond has a rock in the middle and some weeds around the edges.
3 In the bottom right hand corner of the park is a picnic table. On the table are 2 cups, 2 plates and a watermelon.
4 On the opposite side of the park is a slippery dip. It’s about halfway between the top and the bottom of the park. One child is at the top and two are waiting at the bottom.
Reader 2
1 You’re creating a bird’s-eye view of a square bedroom. There’s a window in the centre of the top wall and a door in the centre of the opposite wall. Place a ‘W’ where the window is and a ‘D’ for the door.
2 You put a bed in the top left hand corner of the room. It runs along the wall with the window.
3 On the right hand side of the bed is a chest of drawers.
4 Opposite the chest of drawers on the other side of the room, is a bookcase.
5 A desk with a computer is next to the door, on the left hand side of the door.
6 A rug runs down the centre of the room from the bed to the door.
