| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a puzzle. I am a form of communication, often personal and heartfelt. I have a structure but am free in style. I can cross oceans without moving, and I often start with 'Dear...' but end with 'Love...'. What am I? Think individually for 30 seconds, then share your hypothesis with your shoulder partner." Teacher listens to hypotheses: "A letter? A message? An email?" Teacher confirms: "Exactly, an informal letter! Today we will deconstruct its 'anatomy' and learn to write one with the right tone." |
Students think individually. They then discuss with a partner and propose their guesses. They listen to the teacher's introduction. | Observation of student engagement and accuracy of hypotheses. | - Whiteboard/Projector - AI Tool: A simple prompt on a screen (e.g., "Guess the communication method from this riddle") generated by a language model to show how to create engaging starters. |
