answer

you have to work in pairs. One person will face the screen while the other one will face the back of the classroom (he/she cannot see the screen). When you are ready, your teacher will display some picture. Those of you who see the screen, have to describe the picture to the partner so that they could draw it. Then, you swap the places and change the roles.
