Lesson Plan Content:
Nouns which are both countable and uncountable pictionary
Choose and draw one of the things below. The two pictures with the same noun must always be different, and usually very different, so make sure that what you draw matches exactly the phrase that you chose (not the other thing on the same line). Continue until your partner guesses exactly what you chose, including your partner getting -s or no -s right.
Ask about any which you are not sure how to draw and/ or are not sure about the differences between, working together to draw both things with the same noun each time.
