Activity: Ask warm-up questions like: “What is your birth order, and do you think it affects your personality?” “What is one personality trait you associate with older/younger siblings?”

Activity: Students skim the passage to identify the main idea: How does birth order influence personality? Pair students to answer quick comprehension questions: “What are the strengths of oldest children?” “Why might middle children lack direction?”

Activity: Write key vocabulary from the passage on the board (e.g., “ambitious,” “sympathetic,” “spoiled”). Ask students to locate these words in the text and guess their meanings.

Activity: Use examples and elicit definitions from students. Practice pronunciation chorally and individually.

Activity: Students answer detailed comprehension questions in pairs or small groups, e.g.: “Why are youngest children often rebellious?” “How are only children described as being independent?”

Activity: Role-play a family scenario where each student represents a birth order role. They discuss and make decisions (e.g., planning a trip or solving a family conflict).

Activity: Conduct a debate: Group 1: "Birth order has a major impact on personality." Group 2: "Birth order is not very important." Students present their arguments and share personal experiences.
