This lesson focuses on enhancing students' abilities to describe people's appearance and personality using relevant vocabulary. It begins with a warm-up discussion to engage students in conversation about first impressions and transitions into a vocabulary categorization activity that differentiates between physical attributes and personality traits. The lesson introduces key vocabulary related to physical characteristics and personality, providing definitions and collocations for terms such as 'slim build' and 'outgoing personality.' Students participate in guided practice, role-playing, and personal reflection to apply their knowledge practically. Cultural perspectives and listening activities are incorporated to explore how descriptions can vary across contexts, while discussions encourage students to reflect on their own experiences and opinions regarding personal appearance changes. The session concludes with formative assessments and self-reflection to reinforce learning outcomes.
