Describing People - A quick ppt show


Here's another PowerPoint show with loads of different types of faces and people for your students to describe. I've put down a few ideas on how you could get more out of it below, but if you just want to get straight to the content, click below.

How to run this lesson
This ppt will work best to help practise vocab and structures used to describe people. You can pretty much use it with any level, higher students will be able to say more and lower students will be able to say something like 'He's got...'


1. Split your students into pairs and explain that the first student is number one and the second number two. Tell them that they are going to have two minutes to describe the face/person to their partner. Depending on how good your students are you might like to have them focus on one special aspect of the person, such as
- What they look like
- What their life history might be
- What their personality migfht be like.


2. Now show the PPT to students. Student 1 will talk about the first picture, then you tell them to 'swap' and the second student will describe the next picture. Repeat this until the end of the slide show.


3. When students have finished you can feedback on the language that you heard students producing (negatively or positively) or scroll back up to some of the more intereting faces and ask individual student to tell you what they think.
