Worksheet Description

The “Friendship” worksheet is a straightforward and interactive tool designed to get students thinking critically about the qualities that define a friend, as well as the signs that might indicate someone is not a friend. At the top of the worksheet, there is a place for the student to write their name, personalizing the experience and establishing a direct connection with the task. The worksheet is neatly divided into two sections, with ample bullet-pointed lines prompting students to list characteristics or behaviors that would help them identify if someone is their friend or not.

In the first section, students are asked to reflect on positive indicators of friendship such as trust, support, kindness, and shared interests. The second section shifts the focus to the opposite spectrum, encouraging students to consider warning signs or negative behaviors that suggest a lack of friendship, like disrespect, unkindness, or inconsideration. This exercise not only helps in developing vocabulary and writing skills but also serves as a valuable lesson in understanding interpersonal relationships. By identifying these traits, students are able to make informed decisions about whom they choose to befriend. The worksheet’s simple design with clear, defined spaces for writing, ensures that students can concentrate on their reflections without any distractions.
