I think I would put this topic after talking about the value of life in a broader sense. Like what makes life worth living, what do you want to achieve in life. And after that lesson we could talk about what it would take to take away life? Does the state have the right to kill someone?

I think the opening scene of Trainspotting would be a much more authentic way of showing drug addiction to the students than all the other, extremely melacholic films on the subject. My idea is that in the films opening Ewan McGregor explains why he is addicted and the task would be to try and reason with him, and try to find avenues out of his condition. Now, this film could only be shown in 12th grade as it is intended for a mature audience.

Euphoria the series is also a great source of many controversial and difficult topics such as drug abuse, teen choices, cheating, friendships, bullying, violence, relationships within families and the list could go on. In the focus of the series there is a drug addict and she is also the narrator if I remember correctly, so many scenes are depicted from her point of view, like her fight with her mom could be the centre of a discussion during a lesson.

What can the family do when there is an addict in the family? In Hungary it is very sensitive topic so it should be approach extremly carefully.

A role play where the students create a family and they could step in the family members' shoes or trying to find the roots of the addiction could be also intresting.

I asked Chatgpt to list pop culture moments, I haven't seen them except for the sex ed and DD ones but maybe it could be nice to have a collection (acc. to it they are all respectful and worthy to watch in the topic):

Films and series collected by Chatgpt and me:

Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020)

Obvious Child (2014)

Unpregnant (2020, HBO)

Mave's story from Sex Ed

Grey's Anatomy has a few scenes

Dirty Dancing - The dancer's girl illegal abortion

The risks of having an illegal abortion, consequences

Songs I know:

Delilah Bon - Dead men don't rape - that is a very disturbing one, not sure about it at all, but I leave it here as possible inspiration or just listen to it if you want to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoDfGmsZgKE&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD

2Pac - Keep ya head up - I love this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V0cfqqRYSs

The students could listen to the song, gap-fill exercises can be also possible or before listening to it - What do you think about the title, what could it mean?

Talking about specific parts from the lyrics - And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one - How they interpret it? What is pro life/ pro choice? Is the father allowed to be involved in the question of their child's life/fate? Is it only the mother's decision?

The song discusses issues of being a woman, being stressed by men and let down by men,... it has so much potential, really good one from the late lyrical genius. :)

A film named Beautiful Boy could bring the topic closer to the students. Collecting the reasons for drug abuse +vocab items can be a really awakening task.

Questions:

What do you know about addiction?

Can young people get addicted without realizing it?

What pressures do teens face that may lead to substance use?

Vocab Prep:

addiction, withdrawal, rehab, relapse, support system, enabling, overdose

Watching scenes together and having conversation about those, like the phone call between father and son or why the father shut his son out?

I like Lili’s idea that we should not name the word at the beginning. I would ask my students to come prepared to class as to where is the line for them between good and bad habits. This could foster a conversation and based on their own belifs I would try to slowly introduce new spespectives.

One way of bringing students closer to this difficult topic can be by watching a film and reflecting on it afterward. A specific example that came to my mind was the film Me Before You (2016).

I consider this a good way to approach such a difficult topic as euthanasia because it creates emotional engagement and builds empathy without overwhelming students. Personal or relatable stories presented in audiovisual sources (can be a video too) make sensitive issues more accessible in my eyes, especially in a second language, and help learners connect language learning to real-world understanding.

Creating a station game that students visit in smaller groups. The first station would be a short reading about a real case with comprehension questions. The second station would present the current situations in 4 countries which the students discuss. The third station would be different cases and their outcome which the students talk about. And in the last station, students would discuss whether they agree or disagree with some opinions about capital punishment.

Using films/tv shows as examples that the students are familiar with. This can make the topic easier for the students to discuss because they are talking about fiction rather than their personal experiences.

Creating an "opinion corner" activity, (strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree, disagree) where students stand in corners based on their opinion and explain their positions on the statements. For example: Abortion should always be a personal choice.

- a personal warmer which they could discuss in pairs,it does not directly include the word *addiction*: Is there anything you do so often that people tease you about it?What’s one thing you think you couldn’t live without?Is it easy or hard for you to change your habits? Why?Changing habits is an interesting debate focus, I would emphasize that later on.
