"Gesture" Ice Breaker on virtual whiteboard

Write a description or draw an image on the whiteboard that I provided of a gesture that you use on a regular basis.

Think about what gesture comes to mind when I read the following descriptions?

Compare gestures in your native country with gestures that are common in other countries.

What do these similarities/differences tell us about habits, skills, and attitudes of students who are English Learners?
