| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a trigger) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let me tell you a quick story about my friend, Alex. Last year, Alex won a huge lottery prize. He immediately quit his job, bought a mansion, three sports cars, and travels first-class everywhere. He told me, 'Now I have everything money can buy, and I am perfectly, 100% happy every single second of the day.' What do you think? Does his story sound completely believable? Discuss with your partner for one minute."
After pair discussion: "Who spotted something? Yes, the trigger was the phrase 'perfectly, 100% happy every single second.' Is that realistic? Why or why not? This leads us directly to our topic today: Discussing whether money brings happiness." |
Students listen to the story. In pairs (7 pairs total), they discuss the believability of the story. Volunteers share their opinions, identifying the exaggerated claim about constant happiness as the trigger. | Descriptors: The student participates in pair discussion, identifies the deliberate exaggeration in the story, and expresses a preliminary opinion on the topic. No points. |
