If you have enough time in the course, consider having students give poster presentations. Have students work in pairs or groups to collect information on a chosen or assigned topic (for example, a country or an endangered species of animal). They then prepare a poster on a very large sheet of paper, with visual information on their topic to teach their classmates.

On presentation day, hang the posters around the classroom walls. Have half the students stand by their posters explaining them, while the other half walk around reading and listening. Then they switch roles. If desired, you can finish with a dictated quiz on key information from the posters, and/or a whole-class discussion of what students learned from them.
