First Date - Video Shorts Lesson Plan

This lesson is based around two short video clips. One is of a young couple on their first date and the other is of a very old couple who have been together for many years.

In the lesson, students watch and discuss the clips and recreate the dialogue from one of the scripts.
They also look at what makes relationships successful and invent some first date stories. The lesson also offers the opportunity to raise gender and LGBTQ awareness if you feel that's possible and appropriate within your classroom.
