Let’s have a short recap of what we have Our lesson yesterday was all about
discussed last time. Who can tell something cohesive devices.
about our topic yesterday?

What are cohesive devices? Cohesive devices are words or phrases

used to link or to connect sentences and
paragraphs.

2. Motivation

(The teacher will present a white slide with a X

in the middle)

What can you see? (The pupils will raise their hands.)

Yes, Robert? I can see letter X in the middle.

Okay. Any other answers?

Yes, Ana? I can see someone holding a white

paper

Very good observation!

Most of you noticed the letter X, and few

answered the white paper. Do you want to Yes, Ma’am!
know what symbolizes the paper and the X?

The X symbolizes the imperfections of the

individual, while the white paper shows the
individual as a whole. As you can see the paper
is bigger than the X but most of you saw the X
over the paper and that means we tend to see
the flaws of others over the beauty they has to
offer. Now, after leaving this premise later I want
you to reflect on it.

What will you do if you saw someone who Answers may vary. Some possible
looks like them? answers are:

-I will talk to them and treat them like

normal.

-I will protect them if they were being

bullied by others.

Very good! Any other answer?

If you saw someone who has the same

condition with this children treat them well,
because like us they are just normal well-being
who are doing their best to live their life. Don’t
be someone who will bring their confidence
down by judging or mocking them.
