For example, they don't HAVE to describe the feet as "dos pies", if they so chose they could describe another feature that strikes them in the way they see it, eg. dos manos, or instead of boca blanca, boca sonriente. This freedom of choice would help re-enforce the students knowledge of the features they chose and the vocabulary they chose to describe them while other features that might not have appealed to them will be highlighted by others and so they will learn something new as well.
