Step 1
Tell your students they are going to watch a trailer for a short animated film titled The Gift. As they watch their task is to decide why the film is titled The Gift.
Step 2
Get feedback from your students. They will probably be able to tell you that 'the gift' refers to the gift of romantic love.
Step 3
Pair your learners and ask them to come up with any vocabulary they know related to romantic love and relationship. Set a time limit of 5 minutes.
Step 4
Get feedback from each pair and write up the most useful vocabulary. Elicit or explain vocabulary such as:

to meet to go out together to fall in love

to be jealous to argue to make up

to be in love to settle down to break up

to split up to get back together
Step 5
Put your students into small groups and ask them to predict what story they are going to see in the film. Encourage them to use the vocabulary they have looked at in the previous step. Set a time limit of 10 minutes.
Step 6
Ask a student from each group to read out their story and ask members of the other groups for their comments.
Step 7
Tell the students they are now going to watch the film. As they watch their task is to try to understand the story the film tells and then compare it with their own stories.

Step 8
Pair your students and ask them to compare their stories with the one shown in the film.

Step 9
Tell your students they are going to watch the film a second time and that after watching it they should write a narrative using the vocabulary from Step 4 to describe the story told in the film.
Show the film again.

Step 10
Students write their narratives. Walk around the class providing help with vocabulary as necessary. Set a time limit of 15 minutes.

Step 11
Pair your students and ask them to read their narratives to their partners.

Step 12
Hold a plenary session based on the following questions:
Do you think the film illustrates a typical relationship?
What adjectives would you use to describe the film?
How did the film make you feel?

Homework
For homework students write a more polished version of their narrative.

I hope you enjoy this ESL lesson.
