| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: meme discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with this image." (Projects a meme showing a person with a stack of books, caption: "My brain after reading non-fiction vs. fiction." The non-fiction side is labeled "FACTS. LOGIC. KNOWLEDGE."). "Look at this meme. Why do you think this is about us today? What is the main difference it shows?"
Possible prompts: "What kind of books give us 'FACTS'? Have you ever read a book to learn something new, not just for a story?" Teacher: "Exactly! Today, we are focusing on non-fiction – books about real people, real places, real events. Our goal is to become skilled fact-finders and descriptive writers." |
Students observe the meme. They discuss in pairs or as a whole class.
Possible responses: "It's about learning real things." "Non-fiction is about true facts, fiction is stories." "We are going to read about real stuff today." Students listen to the lesson introduction and connect the meme to the topic. |
