ROUTINE (3 minutes)

3. - I will greet students. Then, I will ask them what date it is and I will write it on the
blackboard. I will ask them to copy it on their notebooks. After that, I will invite
students to look at the sky through the windows and I will ask them what the
weather is like. If they don´t remember the answer in English, I will provide them
with visual aid to elicit the correct answer.
Visual aids
WARM- UP (7 minutes) (speaking)
- To revise and consolidate the vocabulary and structures related to
family introduced in the previous lesson, I will tell students “When
you watch television, you usually hear about famous people and
their families.” I will show them a photo of a famous female person
and I will say “She is Tiniy. She has a mother, a father and a
brother.” I will encourage them to repeat after me. Then, I will show
them a photo of a famous male person and I will say “He is Maluma.
He has a mother, a father and a sister.” I will encourage them to
repeat after me.

4. - After that, I will show them different photos of famous people and I
will encourage them to talk about their families.
These are the photos:
Tini Maluma
Messi Becky G
PRESENTATION and Activity (8 minutes) (speaking)
- To introduce the topic, I will say to students “Now, we are going to
learn how to describe famous people ´s physical appearances. We
will talk about their hair” I will show students a photo of Jimena
Barón and I will say “She is Jimena Barón. She has long, blonde,
straight hair.” I will write this on the blackboard and I will encourage
them to repeat after me. I will do the same with: Lali, Jimena Baron,
J Balvin, Pampita and Ricky Martin to teach the new vocabulary
(long, short, medium-length, blonde, black, brown, blonde, green
straight, wavy and curly). I will ask them to copy all the vocabulary
down.

5. - After that, I will shuffle the photos and I will ask different students
to pick one and describe the famous person´s hair. If they don´t
remember the vocabulary, I will help them by pointing to the word
on the board and saying it aloud.
These are the photos:

6. DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
Activity 1: (8 minutes) (writing)
- In order to help students to consolidate the vocabulary learnt, I will
ask them to fill in the gaps with the correct word or words:
This is the worksheet:
Complete the sentences with the following words: long, short, medium-
length, black, blonde, brown, green, straight, wavy and curly.
Lali has …………………………………………hair.
Jimena has………………………………..hair.

vocabulary;

one:

Activity 2: (7 minutes) (speaking, reading and writing)
- I will ask students to talk about their classmates’ hair. I will give
them an example as a model: “She is Tamara. She has long straight
blonde hair.” I will write this on the blackboard as a model. I will
invite all the students to choose a partner and describe his/her hair.
- After that, I will encourage students to draw their classmates and
write their descriptions on their notebooks. Finally, I will ask each
student to read only one sentence aloud for the others to guess who
he/she is describing.

one:
“Fantastic! Good job! Now, let´s do another activity.”

CLOSURE (7 minutes)
- To end the lesson, I will invite students to play a game called “who is
she/he?. Firstly, I will explain the game by modelling the activity. I
will put photos on the desk, face down. I will select one and describe
it. Then, I will invite students to watch a word presentation in which
there are photos of different famous people. I will tell them they
have to guess who the description refers to. Then, I will encourage
all students to select a photo, describe the person in it for their
classmates to guess who the famous person is. When they have
finished playing the game, I will say “It was a great class!
Congratulation! See you next class!”
