Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a riddle. I am thinking of a person. This person lived in England, wrote stories that are known worldwide, created characters that live for centuries, and their works have been adapted into countless films and plays. Their last name is also a verb meaning 'to move quickly and lightly'. Who could it be? (Shakespeare – 'to shake a spear'). Take 1 minute, discuss with your neighbor, and share your hypothesis."
After student guesses: "Excellent! William Shakespeare is one of the most famous British writers. Today, we will explore several others. What other famous British authors do you know? (List a few on the board)." |
Students listen to the riddle. They discuss in pairs (7 pairs total) and propose answers (e.g., Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen). They volunteer names of other British writers they know. | Descriptors: The student participates in the discussion, offers a logical hypothesis, and names at least one British writer. No points. |
