Introduction

Hello everyone! Welcome to today's English class. Today, we will be diving into the topic of teenagers and parents – a subject that is very relatable to everyone in this room.

As teenagers, you are beginning to establish your own identity and independence, but still rely heavily on the guidance and support of your parents. This can lead to some misunderstandings and conflicts between teenagers and parents.

Through this lesson, we hope to explore some of the challenges that teenagers and parents face and provide practical solutions for building stronger relationships with your parents.

Warm-up Activity: "Family Portrait"

To get things started, we're going to do a fun and interactive activity called "Family Portrait". In this activity, you'll be creating a drawing of your family (parents, siblings, pets) and writing a short paragraph about what makes your family unique.

This activity will help us to understand each other's family dynamics and highlight similarities and differences between our experiences with parents and family.

Lesson Objectives

After this lesson, you will be able to:

• Understand the challenges faced by teenagers and parents in their relationship
• Explain different communication styles and how they can affect relationships
• Identify practical strategies for improving relationships with parents

Learning Materials

Before we dive into the lesson, make sure you have your text book and a notebook ready. We will be using them to go over key concepts and take notes throughout the lesson.
