She looks like ...

Instructor: Heon Yun Keyng	Level: Pre-intermediate	Students: 12	Length: 50 minutes

Materials:

- Vocabulary worksheet (12 copies)

- Listening CD & CD player

- Listening worksheet (12 copies)

- Wall chart of the words diagram

- Pictures of film stars

- the whole uncut paper (4 pieces)

- white board, board markers, tape

Aims:

- To learn vocabulary and expression for describing one's appearance

- To express one's appearance who you know and describe favorite film stars

- To practice listening to real-life speech of people

- To be able to pick up details from the speech by answering details questions on a              worksheet

- To practice speaking by discussing with group members

Language Skills:

- Reading : vocabulary worksheet and part of textbook about description

- Listening : the speaker's short speech and real-life conversation in CD

- Speaking : describing appearance, comparing answers within groups

- Writing : details(dictation), creating favorite stars' appearance

Language Systems:

- Lexis : vocabularies used in describing people's appearance

- Function : Ask and answer about people's appearance and informal conversation about                     everyday things

- Grammar : comparative and superlatives

Assumption:

Students already know:

- how the class is set up and run (there will be 3 students grouped at each table)

- the teacher's style of teaching and all the pace of the course

- all students are middle school students (Age 14~16)

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

- Students may not be able to follow the passage easily

→ let them listen to the tracks again until they get the gist of the content

- Students may not be able to pick up details from the listening

→ chunk the listening (pause - play - pause - play)

- If time is short

→ cut post-activity discussion short and only ask 2~3 students to share their opinions             about what their favorite stars look like

- If the students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

→ ask as many students as possible about describing their favorite stars' appearance and           differences between their preferring looks and disliking looks

Joe,

You did a very good job. Try to add a couple more CCQs here and there and change one or two things that I have marked but other than that you have a great paper. Try to explain the post activity. 7 minutes is so short. Other than that well done.

Regards,

David Moroney
