How to use pictures correctly in class
If you want to fully utilize the full potential of visual material, there are several important rules to follow.
- Select only those pictures of fruits that represent the fruits as realistically as possible. Images must accurately replicate the shape, size, and external structural features of an apple or peach. This is necessary if the illustrations represent both fresh juicy fruits and dried fruits (dried apricots, apricots, etc.). It is important that children recognize not only fresh grapes, but also dried grapes, apricots, and plums.
- Children like colorful and beautiful drawings, with many details, so you should try to find these for your lessons. Attractive, bright cards hold the child’s attention for a long time and perfectly stimulate his speech activity.
- High-quality pictures of fruits for classes should be of different sizes, large and small. This allows you to use them in a wide variety of games and exercises. Subject and story illustrations with different fruits are rich material for speech development exercises.
- If you cannot find special children's pictures for speech therapy classes, then you can print suitable images from the Internet or take photographs. It is permissible, as a last resort, to draw them yourself.
- It is important that each illustration or drawing is on a separate card, the objects must be depicted against a neutral background. If you use drawn dried fruits for classes, then there should be several of them in the picture.
Tasks
Examples of tasks that can be used during lessons on the topic “Fruits”:
- Describe the appearance of several fruits using object pictures with their images.
- Compare two similar fruits (apple-peach, pear-quince, tangerine-orange), listing in detail all the common features and differences.
- Name as many characteristics of the fruit shown on the card as possible. One child, children in pairs, or the whole group can list adjectives in a circle.
- Make up a story based on the plot picture, and also come up with several questions for each picture. You can use the following options: “Fruit basket”, “How dried fruits are made”, “From seed to apple”.
- Choose an image of one fruit and come up with as many dishes from it as possible, using the correct name for each (plum marmalade - plum caramel - plum jam).
- Write riddles or short funny poems about fruits on cards.
- Carefully examine one of the pictures, and then, from memory, describe in great detail the fruit that is depicted in it.
- Make up stories in pictures based on several drawings on a topic that are related to each other.
- Using various dried and fresh fruits drawn, come up with a fairy tale about them, compose a short dialogue, and act out (using cards) a short scene.
