I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- Name and use the phrases long hair, short hair, round eyes and round face (long hair (tóc dài), short hair (tóc ngắn), round eyes (mắt tròn), round face (khuôn mặt tròn)).
- Ask and answer the question "What does she look like?" with "She has long hair." or "He has round eyes."
- Use is with adjectives (He is tall. / She is slim.) and has with body parts (She has long hair.) correctly.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and identify the target phrases, read the sentences aloud, and ask and answer "What does she look like?" in pairs.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce round face and round eyes clearly, use the correct form of the verb (is/has), and do not add -a or -s to hair.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read each word silently, cover the meaning, and check themselves by saying the word aloud before looking at the answer key.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about appearance politely, and take turns in the tic-tac-toe game.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss choose and describe an imaginary character from the given vocabulary, and make their own sentences in a new situation.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss complete all exercises on time and try to speak full sentences during pair work.
Kindness: Ss describe appearance in a neutral, respectful way, and never make fun of a classmate's looks during the game or the pair talk.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 12 minutes

Explore New Words: Long Hair, Short Hair, Round Eyes, Round Face

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of four new phrases through pictures, gestures and real objects.

Content

Look, listen and repeat the four phrases. Then do a Mime and Guess activity: T or a volunteer mimes a feature and Ss guess the phrase. Ss do not spell the words letter by letter; they say the whole phrase.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four phrases correctly and match each one to its meaning and picture.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the four flashcards (long hair, short hair, round eyes, round face). T says each phrase, and Ss repeat as a whole class and then in groups of four.
Pupils
Ss listen and repeat: long hair, short hair, round eyes, round face. Ss look at the pictures and gestures.
Teacher
T covers the meanings and asks Ss to say each word aloud. Then T mimes one phrase (e.g., hands showing long hair falling down) and asks: What is it? Ss guess.
Pupils
Ss guess. Expected answers: long hair, short hair, round face, round eyes. Ss use gestures to remember the meanings.
Teacher
T shows real objects or pictures: a ponytail or a hair pin for hair, a round mirror or a round sticker for round face/eyes. T asks: Which picture is round face? Ss point and answer.
Pupils
Ss point and say: This is round face. / This is long hair.
Teacher
T summarises the meanings in Vietnamese only when necessary and writes the four phrases on the board. T checks pronunciation of round and round.
Pupils
Ss copy the four phrases with meanings into their notebooks: long hair (tóc dài), short hair (tóc ngắn), round eyes (mắt tròn), round face (khuôn mặt tròn).

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 13 minutes

Explore the Pattern: What does she look like?

Aims

Ss understand and use the question What does she look like? and the answers with is and has.

Content

Ss listen to the model dialogue, then study the grammar chart: is is used with adjectives (He is tall. / She is slim.), has is used with body parts (She has long hair. / He has round eyes.). Hair is uncountable: no a and no -s. Ss practise the dialogue in pairs.

Expected outcomes

Ss read the dialogue fluently and explain in English why we say She has long hair, not She is long hair or a hair.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T plays the audio. Ss listen and point at the picture of the girl. T writes the model dialogue on the board: A: What does she look like? B: She has long hair.
Pupils
Ss listen, point at the girl and repeat the dialogue after T.
Teacher
T shows the grammar chart and asks guiding questions: Do we use is or has before long hair? Why? Do we say a hair?
Pupils
Ss answer. Expected answers: has, because hair is a body part. No, we do not say a hair or hairs.
Teacher
T asks pairs to practise the dialogue, changing the picture: She has short hair / He has round eyes / He is tall. Ss use the correct verb each time.
Pupils
Ss practise in pairs and say: A: What does he look like? B: He has round eyes.
Teacher
T highlights the key points: is + adjective, has + body part, the question What does she/he look like? asks about appearance only, and describing people must be neutral and respectful.
Pupils
Ss write the key structures in their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 15 minutes

Let's Play: Appearance Tic-tac-toe

Aims

Ss practise the vocabulary and the structures is/has in a fun game, speaking full correct sentences about imaginary characters.

Content

Draw a 3 × 3 grid. Use these phrases: tall, short, slim / long hair, short hair, round eyes / big, a round face, small eyes. Hmm: correct version is: tall, short, slim / long hair, short hair, round eyes / big eyes, round face, small eyes. Two players use X and O. A player chooses a box and makes a true sentence about an imaginary character: She is tall or He has round eyes. A correct sentence earns the box. The first player to get three boxes in a row wins. The game is not about criticising anyone's looks.

Expected outcomes

Ss make at least 6 correct sentences using is and has, and one team wins the game with three boxes in a row.
