Procedure
In the beginning I will greet the students. I will attract their attention with a funny activity (show and tell), so I will show them some pictures and ask them to name these pictures and tell me where they can find these objects, the answer should be in a party because all the pictures will be related to the party such as music,food,gifts and so on. Now I will ask each student to think individually for 2 minutes about if he/she likes to attend parties,or no? and what he/she feels when a friend invites him/her to a party?
