This lesson plan compares ideas about education and upbringing. Students will conduct a survey in pairs to see if there is a correlation between previous experiences and present attitudes. They will read a text describing others' school punishment experiences. Students will then refine their survey questions and draw conclusions in their original pairs. Each pair will present their findings to the class and discuss any differences. The teacher will elicit language used to describe being strict or easygoing. Students will discuss upbringing and attitudes using this new language.

Teacher & Student Activity
The teacher introduces the theme by handing
students a copy of her personal diary when she was Pre-Task (Lead in) a teenager and invites them to read handout # 1. 5 min S-S (She uses this to check the meaning of easygoing and strict). After reading, she will invite one or two students to recount related experiences and will suggest that many people react to strict upbringing by adopting very easygoing attitudes as parents and vice versa. (Arguments about this will probably arise). The teacher will then give instructions for the task and check that they were understood.
Students gather into pairs and prepare questions to
conduct a survey to see if there is any correlation between previous experiences and present attitudes. Task Cycle 15-20 S-Ss Pairs are then grouped into fours to try out their questions and make mental notes of the answers. min The teacher monitors the interaction and checks production without correcting at this stage.
Students are asked to read a text (Handout # 2), in
which three different people are retelling personal experiences about punishment they received when they were at school. The teacher checks comprehension through some questions. With this new piece of information, students return to their survey gathered into pairs different from those at the beginning of the class, to refine their questions. This time, the teacher stands by to offer language advice if necessary.
Students go back to original pairs to draw
conclusions and write a report on their findings to try and answer this question: “Does upbringing affect attitudes? Then each pair will read their report to the whole class and they could discuss about differences if any. Presentation: Results 5 min S-S
Teacher will bring up language related to the
notions of being strict or easygoing. Board is now used to elicit their findings in two columns: Feedback and Language adjectives and verbs: clarification 10 T-S-S Adjectives: Tolerant / patient, etc. min Verbs: I was allowed to… / He made me…/ They let me….
