Become a real friend

How can I communicate better with people?

9’th grade

I axpect the students to learn new communicating ways.I expect them to learn how sensitivity is essensial, and develop richer awareness and a richer vocabulary among this issue.

The lexicon I want to introduce to the class:

nature, forest,woods, connection,missing, communicating.

I will tell the students that I want to play 2 vocabulary games with them and I will tell them that it is pre-reading preperation to the text they are going to read.

I will play with the kids a quizlel and they will have to explain the words with flash cards:

Forum assignment

I want to have a discussion in an online forum of the class. My goal is to evoke the  awareness of the students to lonesome students and understand how this situation reflects those students.

A situation: Uri does not have friends in class. He comes and no-one welcomes him in the mornings.

: Does Uri’s social situation  in class reflects his studies?

If Uri does not have friends in class Does it reflect him? In what way ?
