| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle/Brain-teaser) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's warm up our brains. I have a riddle for you: 'I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?' (Answer: An echo). Take 1 minute to think and write down your hypothesis. Now, in pairs, discuss your answers. Why do you think so? How did your brain arrive at that conclusion?"
Script: "This riddle requires you to think about abstract concepts. Just like an echo, our brain's capabilities can be amplified and trained. Today, we will learn how to 'train your brain' effectively." |
- Listen to the riddle. - Individually think and write down an answer (1 min). - Work in pre-assigned pairs (6 pairs, 1 group of 3) to discuss hypotheses (2 min). - Volunteer to share their reasoning with the class. |
Descriptors: • The student proposes a logical hypothesis. • The student participates in pair discussion, listening and contributing. No points. |
- Whiteboard/Marker. - Timer. - AI Tool: ChatGPT to generate alternative brain-teasers on the fly for differentiation. |
