Lesson Description
I would start by asking questions based on the previous lessons which would be on nuclear and single parent family. I would then show them a video on extended family. Then I would ask questions based on the video, they would then read the definition of a extended family and I would show them an extended family tree and show them the previous family trees for the activity in which all of them have to draw their own family tree. We would then discuss some positive signs of love and caring present in his/her family; I would ask students what they think are some ways of showing your family that you love them? I would then ask them what are some ways your family show you that they love and care about you. After we have that discussion I would then ask them some oral who am I questions on single, nuclear and extended family. For home work students would email each other and discuss the types of families.
STUDENTS ACTIVITIES

· Students would present their family tree in groups. In groups of three students would stand up in front of the class and one person at a time would show the class their family tree and tell the class about it
