Procedure (24-35 minutes)
I will start the lesson with an old song about friendship, and I will use it to start a discussion about this topic. I will ask the students if they know the song and what they think about its topic. I will also ask them If they think that Romio is a good friend or not and why.
This will be done through a reading text. I will teach them some new lexis before reading the text to make it easier for them to understand the text. This will be done during a task. They will work in pairs and match every word to its definition. Then, I will give them a feedback. I will use some CCQs to check their understanding of these lexis and they will repeat the lexis after me. Then, they will read a text about a friend who donated her kidney for her best friend and they will answer some questions about some details. They will check their answers in pairs and with me. After that, they will have conversations to discuss whether they have such loyal friends or not.
This will be done during the pre reading stage. I will teach them some new vocabularies that will make it easier for them to understand the text, and this will be done through a task. They will work in pairs and match the words to their definitions. Then, I will give them a feedback. I will use some CCQs to check their understanding of the newly learned vocabularies. After that, they will repeat the words after me.
We will have a game; We will test their friendships. We will choose randomly two persons each time. One of them will ask the other a hard question about her best friend, and that will show us who is a true friend and who is not.
We will have a discussion together. Everyone will speak about his best and worst memories with her friends.
I will write some sentences with mistakes on the board and ask them to identify the errors and correct them.
