During this lesson, students will practice describing people's appearance using specific vocabulary like attractive, beautiful, and bald. They will listen to a song that uses adjectives to fill in blanks describing a singer. Students will then practice this vocabulary by completing activities like a crossword puzzle and describing famous people without naming them. The lesson integrates listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
