Don´t forget, there is a special word in English for these:




What´s that word?

Yesterday we welcomed Laura, who is coming from another class. Everybody shook hands with her and said:

Nice to meet you, Laura.

We reviewed the alphabet and each student spelled his/her surname. That´s something we are working on: when we need to write a word and we don´t know how we must ask:

How do you spell...?

Students were given small pieces of paper and each one had to write 2 or 3 parts of the body. Then we practiced the words looking at the pictu4re cards and got familiar with the spelling of the words, by looking at the written words. 

Each student drew a figure and wrote 4 qualities, like: short arms, long neck, wide shoulders, big mouth.
They got together with a partner and asked the question: What´s your character like?

And this is how they had to answer:

If they wanted to say a quality of the character they had to say:

She is (tall, fat, small....) or
He is (tall, fat, small....) or

If the wanted to describe parts of the body they had to say: 

She has got ( short arms, a long neck, wide shoulders, a big mouth)
He has got ( short arms, a long neck, wide shoulders, a big mouth)

Notice that: when that part of the body is only one (mouth, neck, back) we must write the article a before. When there is more than one, when is plural,(legs, arms, hands, toes) we don´t use an article.

Last, we played a memory game: students had to discover and match picture cards with the corresponding words.
