Introduce the lesson with a brief overview of what we'll cover: empathy, active listening, and communication. Emphasize that these skills help us build strong relationships.

Discuss with the class what each term means. Ask students for examples or experiences that show empathy, effective listening, and clear communication. Encourage participation to activate prior knowledge.

Explain the interactive role-play activity. Divide the class into small groups. Provide real-life scenarios for role-playing exercises. Remind students to rotate roles so everyone has a chance to practice both speaking and listening.

Wrap-up session to allow students to reflect on their experience. Ask them what they learned about empathy, active listening, and communication. Reinforce key points and encourage applying these skills outside of class.
