12. POSSIBLE USE IN CLASS
 Ask a student to describe the object he/she sees to the others, without
necessarily naming the item. They must use their imagination to mentally
visualise the object.
 Working in groups, students describe how these objects can be used.
 Finally we can ask the students (depending on their age) to draw and / or create
a new improbable object.
These are of course only a few possibilities, don’t hesitate to add some
comments if you have more suggestions!

13. These exercises were largely inspired from a book I discovered at a book fair:
les objets introuvables, by Jacques Carelman. Of course with all sorts of new
technologies a lot of people have created - if only digitally - a good deal of those
virtual improbable objects. You may find a few yourselves on the internet!

Don’t forget to write ‘English ideas’ in the object so I know this is not spam!!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
