[|PPT on 2013 lang B curriculum] [|International School of Toulouse French B resources] [|French Picture files for oral] [|French picture/article resources] [|French pictures/articles-news] [|Picture resource-heritage] I copied here an extract from the Lang B guide that deals with this aspect. Hope it helps. //The photograph should enable the student to reflect on the culture(s) studied and should stimulate discussion following the presentation. Any text in the picture should be in the target language. It is recommended that the photographs be in colour and contain plenty of graphic text. The same photograph may be used with up to five students but the title or caption should be different for each student.//
 * French Language B**

//When students are shown the photograph at the time of the examination, they are allowed 15 minutes’ preparation time and may write working notes (approximately 10 short points). These notes should be used for reference only and must not be read aloud as a prepared speech.//

//An effective photograph should://

//• be relevant to at least one of the options studied in class//

//• be culturally relevant to the target language//

//• allow the student to describe a scene or situation//

//• allow the student to offer a personal interpretation//

//• enable the teacher to lead the student into a wider conversation//

//• be relevant and of interest to the students’ age group.//

//The presentation should last 3–4 minutes and has to be within the context of the option of study to which the photograph refers. The student must not memorize or rehearse the presentation. Teachers should avoid interrupting the flow of the presentation unless the student needs guidance.//
