Today
Je-won and I covered physical descriptions. On an ESL website, I found a very colorful
and fun poster on Word displaying common physical descriptions. It covered
things like face shape, age, hair, build and other features. After that, we
took a few minutes to review a simple diagram of body parts that I got from the
same website. Je-won seemed to already be familiar with the body parts, so this
portion was a breeze. Finally, I prepared a fun activity which involves
matching the picture to the sentence. I used pictures from popular American movies
and tv shows. He practiced his listening skills as I read the sentences aloud. Some example sentences includes, “Carl (Up) is old, wears glasses
and has a square face,” “Charlie (Charlie Brown) is short, has a round face and
is bald,” and “Vanellope (Wreck-it-ralph) is short, slim, has black hair in a ponytail.”
I made sure to repeat the sentences slowly and clearly. Je-won did very well
and answered correctly 80% of the time. I spent more time explaining tougher
words like well-built and braids.
If I
had more time before the lesson, I would have loved to compile clips of these
movies/shows and played them for Je-won. I will think incorporating more videos in my lessons for the future.
