Teaching steps:
Step1.  Warming-up 
Games: Robert Dance目的在于活跃气氛，调动学生的积极性，减少学生的紧张情绪。加之五官属于人的长相的范畴，所以与此课人物外貌相关连，这样引入就能自然过渡到本节课的内容。人物前活动用于扫除学生的语言障碍，因此在教学上以激发学生的学习兴趣为主，通过活动让学生感知、操练语言，为下一步活动做好铺垫。
Rulers: I say touch your eyes/ears/ nose/mouth/shoulder/legs/arm. you should do it .If you are wrong, you have to sit down. The person who does it correctly is the winner.
after that we begin to study our lesson.
Step2.  Presentation
T: Do you like Miss Yan?
Ss: Yes.
T: Why?
Ss: Because you are beautiful.
T: Thank you. Do you like her?(图片展示)
Ss: Yes.
T: OK, I know you think she is a beautiful girl, too. Today, we will learn Unit 1 What does she look like? ( 图片展示同时板书。)
Then teach the new words and new sentences pattern.
The teacher uses the pictures to lead and teach the new words and the new sentence pattern. And then ask the Ss to describe the classmates. 
先利用图片展示进行新单词句型的引入,让学生熟悉。接着要求其他同学描述三位外貌典型的同学，再小组练习。这样更形象，更贴近生活，学生更容易接受，加强了学生间的合作与交流。再按发形，身高，体重的类别练习以免混淆，同时加深记忆。在教学的过程中，我要求学生描述教室里听课的老师，学生们十分激动，想着能用英语描述自己的老师了，他们特别高兴。此时的气氛很活跃。
It’s the first day of new term. Lingling and Peter are talking about their new Chinese teacher. Now listen to the tape and then please tell me what does she look like. Which is their new Chinese teacher Picture A or B?
Listen again and read after the tape.
Role acting
Step3. Pair work
 At first the teacher gives the Ss an example. Then ask Ss practice like this.
A: What does he look like?
B: He has short hair. He is tall. He has a round face. 
这样完整地描述人的外表是为后面能安排、完成任务做铺垫，同时能检测学生的掌握情况，以便老师随时调控。
Step4.  Practice
Guessing game:
At first the teacher gives the Ss an example. Then ask Ss to describe anyone in the classroom. Let the others guess.
 这个游戏的安排目的是让学生通过他人的描述，去发现别人的外部特征。培养学生听、说以及辨别能力，同时可活跃课堂气氛。
Free talk: talk about any person who you like.
这是一个任务教学，让学生描述自己的家人、朋友及喜爱的明星，增添他人对自己的了解。学生拿出事先准备好的自己最喜爱的电影、足球明星，在小组里轮流进行描述。然后在组与组之间进行资源共享，让学生在讲台上用投影仪进行展示。（通过这一活动，使学生在掌握一定的英语基础知识和基本技能，能与小组成员合作共同完成学习任务，发展语言的综合运用能力，并创造性地使用英语表达自己的思想）。
Describe and draw
Ask Ss to describe “What do you look like when you are 20 years old and draw a picture of it.
设计这个任务目的在于让学生能学有所用，想象设计一下自己20岁风华正茂时的样子，并画出来，让此堂课别开生面，乐趣横生。同时这培养学生的多种能力，让其能动手动口。
在学生掌握好的前面的知识的基础上再处理学习书上的知识，就化难为简，学生才能得心应手，同时让学生整体回顾本节课的重点内容。
 Step5.  Homework
1. Copy the sentences in grammar focus.
2. Describe your friend, your parent, your teacher or any other person, and then write it down in your exercise book
通过以上几步的语言输入练习，让学生在进一步创造性活用所学语言，提高学生的写作能力。
