I must prepare a short Lesson Plan in the next 48 hours for this next Saturday as part of the Oxford Seminar course to obtain TESOL Certification. Since I taught 13 months in Mexico, I am aware that in Spanish the verb Hacer can mean "to do" or "to make" so I am considering doing my Lesson Plan on that theme.If anyone has any input on what is the difference in English between the two verbs, I'd love to hear it. When do you use the verb "to do" and when do you use the verb "to make"? What is the distinction in English?
Probably the opposite Viv; do is the action, make is the result. We make a cake. How do we make a cake? We add the ingredients, we mix the ingredients, then we pour the mixture into a cake pan and we bake it. We do all of these to make a cake.
Actually I used National Geographic as well as my own photos plus flicker when I had a specific object I wanted to find such as cake, cookies, sandwich
I'm actually in the process of looking for photographs that represent something "you are making". Finding photos that represent what someone is doing is easy.

To say it easy To make= something for which you use your hands ... (I know it isn't exactly so but it is a good start)
Thanks Olesya *LOL* Yes that was for my TESOL class several years ago.
