 Describing people.

I will take to the english classroom a set of figures or paper puppets that I got in Burguer King. It's a comic and there are also several colourful puppets .They are Snoopy and his friends and kids know them perfectly.

The activity consists In decribing the different characters. First of all we review clothes vocabulary and colours and then they will be ready to describe Snoopy's friends and they will also tell what clothes they are wearing.

As there are characters easier to describe than others, I will use them for weaker students. After reviewing all the vocabulary, they can choose a character and describe it so that the rest of the class can guess who is (scaffolding). In this activity all kind of students can participate since they will feel more confident if they guess all together at the same time.

Apart from this activity they can also use the puppets to create different stories and tell them to their partners.
