Overview:
Students become familiar with clothing items, accessories, and wearing verbs, and describe the Deai students and their family members.


From the Deai photo sheets:

MY-P06	MY-D04	MY-D12
Worksheets and other materials: Worksheet #1 Picture cards from apparel subscription catalogues Small piece of paper with a classmate's name on it (for each student) (for use in the optional activity a) Guessing game)

Introduction of wearing verbs and clothing items and accessories
(*This part can be skipped if students have already learned.)

The instructor introduces some clothing items and verbs for each item using own clothes, pictures from magazine, etc. The instructor asks students to guess when they use きています, はいています, しています,　かぶっています, and かけています in English. Then the instructor gives the students a handout (Worksheet #1) and they write each verb and example items under the pictures.

Practicing wearing verbs
The instructor shows many picture cards, and students give appropriate verbs for each item. (Apparel subscription catalogues can be used for the picture cards.)

Students work with partners. They describe what their partners are wearing, and the instructor asks some volunteers to state sentences they practiced.

Describing what people in the Deai photos are wearing
The instructor describes what みずしまゆう is wearing as an example.

The instructor introduces some additional vocabulary such as せいふく (school uniform; MY-D12), ユニフォーム（sports uniform）, たいそうふく (training wear for P.E. class), and ルーズソックス (loose socks; MY-D04) and discuss some differences about clothes in the U.S. and Japan in English.

Teacher : ゆうさんはせいふくをきています。(Showing MY-D12)

ゆうさんのおとうさんはシャツをきています。(Showing MY-P06)

Students work in groups. They choose some Deai photos and prepare to describe what people are wearing in the photos. Students present their descriptions to the class with big photo sheets. They place the photo sheets on the board with numbers, and the students who are listening choose the number of the photo sheet for each statement. The group members who are giving the presentation repeat the statement for the second time and ask the class which photo s/he is talking about.

Student1 : こうじろうさんのおかあさんはスカートをはいています。

(for the second time)
なんばんのしゃしんですか。

Student2 : ～ばんのしゃしんです。

Talking about own family
Students work with partners. They bring their own family pictures (or drawings) and tell their partners how their family members look and what they are wearing. The listener draws a picture according to what the partner says, and they show their pictures at the end to see how similar or different their pictures are. Everyone does the both tasks, telling and drawing.

a) Guessing game
The instructor distributes each student a small piece of paper with a classmate's name on it. Students write 3 sentences to describe what the person is wearing. The instructor collects the papers and asks someone to read the sentences. Other students guess who the person is.

b) Fruit basket game
All students sit in a circle except one person, who will be the "おに." The おに has to make a sentence describing what some people are wearing. For example, when the おに　says, "ジーンズをはいています," the students who are wearing a pair of jeans have to stand up and get a different seat. The おに joins the action and finds his/her seat. Then the person who could not find a seat will be the next おに.
