This document contains the outline and materials for an English lesson taught by Tuz T.S. at a secondary school. The lesson aims to get students to examine their own personalities by discussing traits and characteristics. Students will work in groups, roleplay interviews, listen to passages, and participate in activities where they describe themselves and each other. The lesson encourages communication in English and developing an understanding of how personalities are shaped by both internal qualities and external influences.
