15 min	Go to Slide 5 and ask the learner the questions about the picture. Encourage them to use color vocabulary when describing the picture. If the learner isn’t familiar with the painting, tell them it is a famous Impressionist work called Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. Repeat with Slide 6. If the learner isn’t familiar with the photograph, tell them it is called Lunch Atop a Skyscraper. It was not photoshopped. These workers really sat and ate their lunch on the 69th floor of a skyscraper that they were building! Then show each other the pictures you chose - both famous works of art and your own photos. For each one, ask your learner to describe the photo, talk about why they like it or (for your pictures) to ask you about them.	Show Slides 5-6
