Unit 2: Let´s Get Poppin' With Adjectives

Hi there!

Let’s Get Poppin’ with Adjectives was designed to help you learn different adjectives to describe your physical appearance and personality traits.

In this unit,  you will learn how to describe your physical appearance using different adjectives.

For that reason, I am attaching some short videos in which you will learn how to do it. Just keep in mind that depending on the person you are describing, you will have to change the help verb.  

Let's discover the wide open world of adjectives!

Hello guys!

Here you will find the listening activity.

Let's explore what this is about!

LISTENING ACTIVITY

PURPOSE: The main objective of this listening activity is to review the previous topics through the game Guess Who. While students enjoy the activity, they will learn and identify the appropriate vocabulary to describe someone's physical traits and personality.

Here the students will find a pre-listening activity (matching game and search word game), during-listening activity (fill in the blanks and hangman game) and a post-listening activity (answer questions, write a paragraph and solve a puzzle).

TIME: The activity will be developed in 2 sessions. In case students present difficulties with the development of the listening activity, it will be necessary to add more time to clarify instructions, verify understanding and later assist with the development of the activities proposed for this unit.

LEVEL: This activity was designed for the fourth grade students. They are around nine and ten years old. According to the DBA they will be at level A1.1
