Step 1: Warm-up (Introduction with Context)

1. Start with a simple question:
   • "Have you ever thanked someone for their kindness? Can you share an example?"
2. Show pictures or act out situations where kindness is shown (e.g., helping an old person cross the street, giving a gift, offering a seat).

Step 2: Explanation of the Pattern

1. Write on the board:
   • "It's very kind of you to + (verb)"
   • Example: "It's very kind of you to help me with my homework."
2. Break it down:
   • "It’s very kind of you" → A way to appreciate someone’s good behavior.
   • "to help me with my homework" → The action that the person did.

Step 3: Guided Practice (Pair Work)

1. Provide prompts and have students complete them:
   • "It’s very kind of you to ___________ (help me, teach me, lend me money, etc.)"
2. Use role-play:
   • One student gives a situation, and another responds using the phrase.
   • Example:
     • Student A: "I gave you my pen."
     • Student B: "It's very kind of you to lend me your pen."

Step 4: Interactive Activity (Game)

1. Kindness Chain Game:

   • One student starts with an action (e.g., "I carried your bag").
   • The next student must respond: "It’s very kind of you to carry my bag."
   • Continue the chain!

2. Mystery Box Activity:

   • Prepare different "kind acts" written on paper in a box.
   • A student picks one, acts it out, and the others guess using the sentence structure.

Step 5: Real-Life Application (Speaking Task)

1. Ask students to recall a moment when someone was kind to them.
2. Make them share their experiences using the phrase.
   • Example: "My friend helped me with my project. It’s very kind of her to help me."

Step 6: Wrap-Up and Homework
