Please look at the pic below and speculate using modal verbs:
1. Is the girl alone?
2. Who do you think is she talking to?
3. Could she be talking to a flower / person /an animal?
4. Are there more kids / adults/ flowers / animals around?
Please leave your answers / speculations on the comment box from Flickr linked here:

If you have some comments related to the activity write your views on the comment box from this post.
The task needs interaction and, I will show the original pic in about 2 days. That will give plenty of time for some SMiELT participants to “play” and help me experiment a little bit to draw conclusions afterwards.
Many thanks in advance for your help. I will be looking forward to your writing bits.

I really like this activity. It has a lot of possibilities.
