This lesson introduces and practises basic vocabulary for describing appearance, including hair type, hairstyle, facial features, and general appearance. Students begin with a personalised lead-in, activating prior knowledge through simple self-description.
The lesson continues with guided vocabulary presentation and controlled practice (matching, unscrambling, gap-fill tasks), helping learners recognise and use key words such as curly, ponytail, freckles, and beard.
Students then move to communicative activities, including describing people, guessing games, and pair work, which develop speaking fluency and confidence. A variety of tasks encourage learners to use target language in meaningful contexts.
The lesson finishes with a writing task, where students describe a favourite character, integrating all vocabulary areas. Additional practice tasks can be used for homework or revision.
Overall, the lesson follows a clear progression from presentation → practice → production, supporting both accuracy and communication.
