1.Warm-up activity:

Have students stand up and find someone they don't know well or have never talked to before. They will have two minutes to introduce themselves to each other and talk about their favorite hobbies.
Participants pair up and sit facing each other. In this activity, they take turns interviewing each other about their interests, likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite movies, etc. After five minutes, they switch roles, and the other partner interviews them. Afterward, the participants introduce their partner to the group, highlighting things they discovered in the interview.
2.Introduction: Ask students what they think the word "friendship" means and write their responses on the board. Introduce the theme and explain that they will be exploring the concept of friendship in this lesson.
3.Pre-stage activity:
Show a short video clip or read a story that features a strong friendship between two characters. Ask students to discuss in pairs what they learned about the characters' friendship from the clip/story.
Participants are divided into groups of four. Each group is given a task to build an object together using limited supplies like paper, tape, and scissors. The catch is that they cannot talk to each other and must use non-verbal cues. The group must use teamwork, trust, and communication to complete the task. Afterward, groups present their creations with a brief explanation of their decision-making process.
4.Formal instruction: Introduce key vocabulary related to the theme, such as "loyalty," "honesty," "trust," and "support." Use examples to provide context and ask students to repeat the words, provide synonyms and translate them into their native language.
5.While-stage activity:
Divide students into groups of four and give each group a scenario that involves a friendship issue. For example, one scenario could be that one friend wants to vandalize the school while the other friend wants to stop them. The groups will have 10 minutes to discuss and come up with a solution that reflects the values related to friendship. After that, each group will present their scenario and solution, and the class will discuss which solution best reflects the theme of friendship.
Participants stand in a circle, and each person holds hands with two different people who are not directly next to them. The group must work together without letting go of their hands to untangle themselves to form a circle. Once they form the circle, each person must introduce themselves to the person on each side, sharing their name and one fun fact about themselves.
6.Post-stage activity:
Ask students to think about a time when they or someone they know experienced a difficult situation with a friend. They will write a short story about the situation and how it was resolved, using the key vocabulary and concepts related to friendship that they learned. Then, they will exchange their stories with a partner, and each student will provide feedback on their partner's work based on specific criteria such as grammar, vocabulary and content.
Participants receive sheets of paper to write a kind note or compliment about their classmates. Once everyone has written their notes, they fold them and hand them to the person on their left. Participants then create a paper chain by looping the note into a circle and linking it to their own note. The chain continues until all notes have been linked. This activity creates a visual representation of the kindness and friendship within the group.
7.Contingency plan/Extension: If there is extra time, use technology tools, such as Kahoot!, Socrative or Word Wall to review the lesson's vocabulary and concepts, or organize a role-play activity that simulates a friendship situation.
8.Feedback/Assessment: Circulate through the classroom and give feedback on how well students are participating in the activities and their level of understanding of the theme. Use rubrics with specific criteria to assess their writing, listening and speaking skills related to the theme of friendship.
9.Homework: Ask students to reflect on their own friendships and write about what they learned from this lesson that they can apply to their own relationships. Alternatively, they can create a collage or drawing that represents their understanding of the theme of friendship.
