Look at Me!

Objective & content

This activity sheet is about the words that describe people. Pupils write twelve words under twelve pictures, then read six short sentences and link each one to a picture by its number. By the end, pupils say He's tall. She's got long curly hair. and point to the right person.

Pedagogical guide

Task 1 shows twelve pictures and a word box with the twelve words; pupils write each word once. The four hair pictures carry two words each (long curly, long straight, short curly, short straight), so no picture fits two labels. In task 2 pupils read six sentences, such as He's got a beard. and She's got glasses., and write the number of the picture: only one picture fits each sentence. In the box at the end, pupils read four sentences aloud together and then say their own. Page 2 gives the answer key and the teacher notes.

Suggested procedure

1. (5 min) Point to a few pupils and say one thing about each (Léa has got long hair.).

3. (10 min) Task 2: pupils read the six sentences and write the number of the right picture.
