Describing People Vocabulary and Order of Adjectives

A wonderful cheat sheet for extending students vocabulary when giving spoken and then written descriptions.
Giving GOOD descriptions in another language sounds easy but it is not because it is very vocabulary intense AND the vocabulary needs to be presented in the correct order and in the correct tense.
This resource is an easy to follow guide for students to get it right and is one which I have used in my classes many times. It is a great scaffold to be given to lower level pupils - and a useful resource and reminder for higher level pupils who often do not extend their vocabulary enough in descriptions.
It is recommended that you tear out pictures from magazines (or get your class to do this/bring them in. Let them practise describing the pictures orally first in pairs. Then number the pictures and redistribute them. Get them to write a description. Pin the pictures around the room. Redistribute the written descriptions and ask the students to walk around, find the matching picture and write down its number. Regroup and check the answers.
