Introduction of body-part nouns(*This part can be skipped if students have already learned the vocabulary for the body parts.) The instructor introduces body-part nouns with gesture. Students stand up and practice the words with the teacher. After students become familiar with the body-part nouns, the instructor calls out body-part nouns and students point the parts they hear. The instructor may speed up the pace, as students become familiar with the words. Then, the instructor points his/her body parts, and students say the nouns the instructor points. After some practices, the instructor asks the students to take turns to play the role of the instructor and do the same thing. The instructor gives students a handout for body-part nouns with a drawing or photo. Students label the body-part nouns on the handout. The instructor asks some volunteers to come up to the front and label the nouns on the OHP sheet so that everyone can check their spelling. 
Describing physical appearanceThe instructor shows some pictures to introduce how to describe physical appearance, such as かみがみじかいです, めがおおきいです. Students repeat. The instructor shows some more pictures (from magazines, etc.) of famous people, such as actors, actresses, singers, and teachers in the school. The instructor places all the pictures on the board, and asks students some yes/no questions.
Describing Deai students' physical appearanceUsing Deai photo sheets (MY-P01 and MY-D02), the instructor describes physical appearance of みずしまゆうand her family members as examples. The students repeat the sentences. Then the instructor turns the photo sheets back and asks the students how they look. The instructor asks about other family members in the same way (Using MY-P06 and MY-P08). Students work in groups. They choose some photos from the photo set (handy version) and describe the physical appearance of their assigned Deai students and their family members. (The instructor may choose photos beforehand: OK-P08, OK-P09, SM-P08, TS-P07, TS-P08, TS-P09, YK-P06, YK-P07, YT-P10, YT-P11, YY-P08, YY-P09, YY-P10.) Each group comes up to the front and presents their descriptions with big photo sheets to the class. The students who are listening take notes. After the presentation, the members of the group turn the photo sheets back and ask some questions about people's physical appearance. The students who were listening answer the questions from their notes.  a) Song As is commonly used, ♪あたま、かた、ひざ…(♪Head shoulder knees and toes…) can be used. ♪あたま かた ひざ あし ひざ あし あたま かた ひざ あし ひざ あし めと みみと はなと くち あたま かた ひざ あし ひざ あし (The instructor may create his/her own song with other nouns with the same rhythm.) b) Drawing picture activity The instructor shows a model first. The instructor describes one of his/her own family members twice. On the second time, the instructor draws a picture of the family member as s/he states. Students work with partners. One of them describes one of his/her family members and the other student draws a picture of the person on a sheet of paper. After everyone finishes drawing, the instructor puts all the pictures on the board. The instructor writes numbers for each picture and asks students to pick one picture and find out who the person is.
