Stages of the lesson

ORGANIZATION and WARM-UP

AIMS: - to create a pleasant atmosphere for the English class

as crumpled as possible, without ripping it.

it out and try to get it to look as nice as it did before
they started the exercise. (Of course, they won’t be
able to do that).

* Then, T asks the Ss to apologize to the paper. After
they do that, T points out that even though they said
“Sorry” to the heart, the creases still didn’t come out,
no matter how hard they tried to fix them.
*T tells the Ss that that is exactly what happens when
one child tears down another. You might not be able to
see it on the outside, but all those crumples stay with
them on the inside.
* T announces the theme of the lesson, writing on the
board the words BULLYING (explains that this is the
action) and BULLY (the person who performs the
action), translating them if necessary. T also asks the
