2. This hero is slim. She is tall. She has got black hair. She has got brown eyes. She has got a small nose. She has got small ears. She is beautiful. She is kind (Snow White).

3. This hero is small. He is short. He has got no hair. He has got big black eyes. He has got a big black nose. He has got big ears. He is funny (Mickey Mouse).

groups. Look at the slide to see what group you belong to. The teacher divides the pupils into groups and shows them their working places.

Slide 16

I will give a picture of a cartoon hero to each group. But the picture is cut into pieces. You are to put pieces together to make a picture and to describe a cartoon hero you see in the picture. Use the plan I will give you. Then, chose a speaker from your group who will describe your hero. Don’t name the hero, only describe. Don’t show your picture to other groups. You have 5 minutes.

Slides 17-22

Your time is over. We should start. Now each speaker from each group will describe a cartoon hero. Pupils from other groups should say what cartoon hero it is. So, the I group, you are welcome.

Good! Pupils, who is it? Ask the speaker. Use the question “Is it…?” (it is written in the slide)

In the same way the speakers describe their cartoon heroes and other pupils guess who they are.
