Activity 1: Warm-up · 10 minutes
Pause or Post?
a) Aims
- Ss activate prior knowledge of the topic "Social issues" and the idea that a private image is not theirs to share.
- Ss recall the target vocabulary: peer pressure, bullying, boundary, consent, evidence, support.
b) Content
Ss look at four short fictional statements (not real people) and decide whether each is a safe or unsafe response, then match each word with its meaning.
Fictional statements:
- A classmate sends a funny photo of another student to a group chat without asking.
- Friends keep saying "Everyone is sharing it, so you should too."
- Someone asks, "Can I forward this picture? Did the owner agree?"
- A student feels worried and tells the school counsellor.
T asks: "Is this a safe or an unsafe response? Why?" and "Which word describes the pressure from friends?"
c) Expected outcomes
- Ss label each statement as "safe" or "unsafe" with one reason, e.g. Statement 1 is unsafe because the photo is shared without consent; Statement 3 is safe because the sender asks for consent first; Statement 4 is safe because it seeks a trusted adult.
- Ss match the vocabulary: peer pressure = pressure from people of the same age; bullying = repeated harm to someone who is weaker or less powerful; boundary = a personal limit; consent = permission; evidence = proof; support = help.

Step 1: Task delivering
T shows four fictional statements on the projector and asks Ss to work individually for 2 minutes. T says: "Remember, we use fictional cases only. Nobody needs to share a personal story."
Students
Ss read the statements silently and decide safe or unsafe for each one.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T walks around, listens and gives short hints such as "Think about permission" or "Who can help?"
Students
Ss work in pairs to compare answers and match the six vocabulary items with their meanings.
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on 3–4 pairs to present their answers and asks the class to agree or disagree with reasons.
Students
Pair 1: "Statement 1 is unsafe because the photo is shared without consent."
Pair 2: "Statement 3 is safe because the sender asks for permission first."
Class: "We agree, because consent means permission."Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T confirms the answers, explains that the project's message is "a private image is not yours to distribute", and introduces today's project aim: to complete a usable awareness-campaign product.
Students
Ss write the title of the lesson and the key message in their notebooks.
