Lesson notes

Indicator: B4.1.4.2.1 - Poser et répondre à des questions sur les caractéristiques physiques d’une personne

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Ask the question “Comment est-il ?” or “Comment est-elle ?” and “Comment est ton frère / ta sœur ?” to inquire about someone’s physical appearance.
Respond to these questions using correct subject-verb agreement (Il est / Elle est) with the adjectives grand, petit, gros, grosse, mince, and others.
Use the expressions “Il a / Elle a” with body part nouns to describe physical features such as “une grosse tête”, “le nez plat”, “les yeux noirs”, and “les cheveux courts”.
Formulate three or more questions and answers in a short dialogue describing a person’s physical characteristics.
Distinguish correctly between masculine and feminine forms of describing adjectives (grand/grande, petit/petite, gros/grosse).
