Teacher: "Good morning, everyone. I want you to look at these two headlines on the board. [Shows slides]. Headline 1: 'Top Manager Quits 6-Figure Job to Grow Vegetables.' Headline 2: 'Study Shows: Slower Pace of Life Linked to Higher Happiness.' What do you think these stories might be about? Turn to your partner and predict: What was the outcome for the person in the first story? Was their life better or worse? Why?" Listens to a few predictions. Then introduces the topic: "Both stories touch upon a lifestyle choice called 'downshifting.' Today, we will explore this concept. By the end of the lesson, you will form your own reasoned opinion about it." |
Students discuss the headlines in pairs (12 pairs, 1 student works with the teacher if odd number). They make predictions about the outcomes and reasons. Volunteers share predictions with the class. | Descriptors: The student participates in the discussion, makes a logical prediction based on the headline.
