- Social and moral development: Students will demonstrate respectful listening and show empathy toward cultural traditions different from their own (Success indicator: peer and teacher observation that students use respectful language and consider alternative perspectives during discussion).
- Collaboration and communication: Students will work in small groups to produce a short slide or poster that synthesizes myth vs. evidence and suggests ethical public engagement strategies (Success indicator: completed group product, peer assessment score average ≥ 3/4).

Class hour flow
| Этап урока / Время | Действия педагога (полные реплики и инструкции) | Действия ученика | Формы оценивания | Ресурсы |
| Начало (5-7 мин) |
Teacher: "Good morning. Today we will explore a famous Scottish legend — the Loch Ness Monster. I will ask a question to start: why do legends like this appear and why do people keep believing them? Take 30 seconds to think, then share one short idea with your neighbour."
Teacher: "Now I will show a short image and two quick historical facts. Listen and then we will decide in groups what question we want to answer today about this legend." |
Students listen, think silently for 30 seconds, then briefly share ideas with a partner (1–2 sentences). Students view projected images and listen to facts. Students vote on one question to investigate as a class (thumbs up/down). | Observational checklist (listening, participation), quick thumbs-up vote count, teacher notes on students' initial ideas. | Projector, laptop, slide with 1–2 images (Loch Ness, old newspaper clipping), short slide text. AI resources: generated image (Midjourney / DALL·E) for atmospheric picture, ChatGPT to prepare opening facts, Google Translate for vocabulary support if required, TTS (text-to-speech) for accessibility. |
