Lesson Plan
Lead-in
Students look at pictures of different people and guess what kind of personality each person might have.
They share adjectives and compare opinions in pairs or groups.
The teacher highlights positive and descriptive vocabulary that will appear in the lesson.
Vocabulary Focus
Students read a list of adjectives and tick the ones they already know.
New words are explained through examples, pictures, or gestures rather than direct translation.
The class practises pronunciation and stress, especially with multi-word adjectives like easy-going and laid-back.
Reading: Amazing People
Students read three short texts about " Amazing People" Anna, Max, and Sarah — each showing a different personality type.
They underline adjectives in the texts and discuss what makes each person “amazing”.
Short comprehension questions help confirm understanding and encourage personal connections.
Practice
Learners complete a mix of true/false and gap-fill tasks to recycle key adjectives.
The teacher encourages students to give full-sentence answers to use new words naturally.
Pairs compare answers and explain their choices.
Speaking
Students talk about friends, classmates, or family members who match some of the adjectives.
They describe why those people are special or inspiring.
The focus is on using new vocabulary in authentic conversation.
Guess the Celebrity
Each student secretly chooses a celebrity and describes them using adjectives from the lesson.
The rest of the class guesses who it is based on the clues.
This fun review helps students practise speaking spontaneously.
Writing: A Person I Admire
Learners write a short paragraph about someone they admire.
They use at least four adjectives from the lesson and explain their reasons clearly.
Students share their writing in pairs or small groups for peer feedback.
