General Objectives of this unit: 

At the end of this unit the students should be able to name some of the most common clothing items, describe their own clothing as well as their classmates’ clothing, correctly use adjectives of shape and size for the items and correctly enunciate them in a comprehensible manner utilizing a respectful (formal) register with the appropriate possessive adjective(s) if needed. All of this while maintaining a participative and respectful demeanor.

Our main goal here is to have the students be able to describe a person utilizing the nouns and adjectives learned during this unit.  Our main focus is having them practice their new vocabulary by having them reading and writing down this newfound knowledge.
