Blind houses

one student drew what another directed him to.
look, say, listen, draw.
I like these but students drop "There is a"  and to "the right" and just say "cat" or sun.  one kid didn't know the English for "Tree".  I like to get them talking and the drawing is a nice result.  you can look and see how close you were to being accurate.  

Location

There is a ...
where is it at?
in my hand, on the desk,  etc.  I walk around and ask them what is it?  where is it? and emphasis on a pen, an eraser.
your nutty professor!!
