Imagine you are helping an old blind woman to sort out her pictures. As you pick out a picture of 2 people walking at night under streetlights, she begins to tell you a story. What story does she tell about the 2 people in the picture? What does the old woman look like? What kind of house are you in? What does the house look like? What is around you? What can you see, feel, smell, hear? How do you describe the painting to the woman (remember, she is blind).

Remember to use interesting describing and doing words. ‘Show, not tell’.
