So the foundation of the whole class is quite good. They have been used to work in groups, but sometimes one or two weaker learners dont take part in the group activities. Whats more, the group leaders are not excellent enough to organize well.Lesson aim(s)1. Learn some new vocabulary, like “straight”, “heavy” and “curly”.2. Learn to describe the appearance from three aspects, height, build and hair.3. Get some students to describe a secret person in groups.4. Get some students to describe the student models in the front.5. Get some students to write a composition.6. Get students to know that appearance cant decide everything, and everyone needs to work hard to be successful Rationale1. Unit 9 What does he look like is quite important because it involves how to describe a person, which will be tested in the final exam. 2. Sometimes students need to talk about a persons appearance, and need to understand a description of a persons appearance in a book they read.3. Some students may lack confidence in their appearance. And this lesson convinces them that appearance doesnt decide everything and everyone needs to work hard to make their dreams come true.Language analysis (for lessons which include teaching vocabulary and grammar)Form Meaning Pronunciation1.medium2.height3.curly1.If something is ofmediumsize, it is neither large nor small.2.Heightis the quality of being tall.3.Curlyis sometimes used to describe things that are curved or spiral in shape./midm/hat/kl/Materials (referenced)Unit 9 of our textbookAssumptionsI assume most students are good at using the structure “He / She is ” and “He / She has ”to express their ideas.I assume some students have already learned some words about appearance before, like “tall”, “short”, “fat” and “handsome”.
