Ask individual students to match the pictures with the wordcards. Tell students : Today we're going to practise asking and answering questions to describe ourselves.

Stage 2 Present and Clarify the target language (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a listening excercise

Tell ss : We are going to listen to Alex and Katie. They will ask the children some questions. Listen and tick the correct Picture. Draw ss attention to the example.Hand out the cut up worksheet, play the track, use the pause button after the first example, to make sure that ss are on task. Pause after each example to give students time to tick. Check the answers by saying: In number two, is it a or b? (answers: 2b-straight hair. 3a-dark hair. Elicit from ss the question form ''Have you got+ curly hair?'' Yes I have. No I haven't ''Are you tall/short?'' Yes I am. / No I'm not. Put some example sentences on the wb. Make sure ss don't get the verbs have got and am/is/are mixed up by saying for instance ''Have you got short?'' or Are you a short?'' etc... Make sure the possible combination are visible to all on the board. Tell students that they are now going to play a game using these questions and answers.
