II. Lesson Proper

A. Greeting/ Warm-Up/Motivation (5 minutes)

Show 2 pictures of birthday themed party as a simple example for the

word “theme.”

Play a music “Count on Me” or “You’ve got a friend in me” Let the kids

B. Lesson Presentation: (7 minutes) with Supported practice

Discuss the theme using anchor chart. Give examples with the use of short
texts.

Different common themes:

 Being yourself friendship

Anger kindness
Hard work jealousy

Values integration:
We have good and bad themes we can learn from the story. However, we should
always try to imitate and practice the good ones that we learn from it and try not
to do the bad ones.

Example #1:
Ben and Carl are different. Ben likes English, books, and quiet places, but Carl
doesn't like them. Carl can sing and dance but Ben can't. They like each other
and talk every day.
People are different but
What did you learn from the story? they can be friends.

They like each other

and talk every day.
How did you know that is the theme?

minutes)
