| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a trigger) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Before we start, let me tell you a short story. Yesterday, I met a very interesting person. He said that the only true way to express who you are is through social media posts—nothing else like art, music, or even our native language really matters anymore. He was so sure! What do you think? Did you spot the trigger in his statement?" Pause for reactions. "Exactly! He dismissed all other forms of expression. Today, we explore 'Different ways of self-expression' and learn to evaluate such strong views." |
Students listen actively. They identify the deliberate mistake/trigger: the claim that only social media is a valid form of self-expression. They share initial reactions. (e.g., "I disagree, music is very important for expression," "What about traditional dance?"). | Descriptors: The student identifies the trigger statement. The student provides a quick initial personal reaction to it. Note: No points. |
Whiteboard/Marker. AI Tool: A pre-generated short audio story from an AI text-to-speech service (e.g., Play.ht) played to introduce the trigger in an engaging way. |
