6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1.Warm Up:
-Doing a KWL Chart to see which words Ss already know and which words they want to know for describing.
-After making the KWL Chart, try to see if there are any words that some students know but some others don't. And then, let the ones that know demonstrate the explanation of the unknown words through their body language.
 

B. Development-

1.After there is no word left unknown, let the Ss watch a video of two people talking about a third person.
2.While they're watching, make sure they realize the way that the words they've just learnt are used. Pause and replay the video to take their attention to the use of language. Highlight the questions asked during the conversation.
3.and when the video ends together with the Ss write the script of the conversation and then with the description given try to illustrate the appearance of "the 3rd person" in the video, also elicit the answers to the questions with "like" in the video.
4.elicit the use of verb "be" and "have got". tell them that with verb "be" we use adjectives and we use "have got" when we want say we possess something and so with "have got" we use a noun.
 

C. Practice-

1.then choose one student in the class and ask the others to rewrite the script this time with the description of their own friends as if he/she was "the 3rd person" in the video conversation.
2.then ask them to work in pairs and go on with the activity talking about some other student in the class.
 

D. Independent Practice-

1.ask them to have a small piece of paper and write a description of somebody in the class on it without giving a name. Then one by one ask them to read that description and others to guess who it is in the description.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1.give them a worksheet which has a physical description of somebody. Then ask them to illustrate that somebody using dry paint or crayons.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

1.ask them some questions with mistakes such as "has she got blonde?", "is he blue eyes?", "has he got talkative?"
2.expect them to correct you
3.if nobody corrects you, ask the same question with no error this time. Then ask them whether the two questions are both correct or not.
2.ask 3 different questions with "like" all the time.
 

G. Closure-

1. as a homework tell them to shoot a video of themselves describing someone inside their house.
 
7. Evaluation-
1.just observe them during the lesson. It is important they can carry out the pair works or the individual practice. Finally evaluate the homework.
