| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a deliberate mistake) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class. Today we're diving into the brutal and fascinating world of Jack London. I'll start with a quick story. Imagine a gentle, scholarly man named Humphrey van Weyden. One day, his ferry sinks in the sunny, calm Mediterranean Sea. He is rescued by a ship called the 'Ghost', whose captain, the kind and philosophical Wolf Larsen, immediately makes him his personal assistant and treats him to a lovely cup of tea. They become fast friends and discuss poetry as they sail towards a tropical paradise. Does that sound right to you?"
Pause for reactions. "Your task is to spot the deliberate mistakes in my story. Work with your shoulder partner for 2 minutes. What seems historically, geographically, or characteristically wrong based on what you might already know or can logically guess about Jack London's stories?" |
Students listen attentively. In pairs (6 pairs total), they discuss the teacher's story. They identify potential mistakes (e.g., the setting is the San Francisco Bay/fog, not the Mediterranean; Wolf Larsen is brutal, not kind; the situation is not friendly).
Possible student responses: "The sea was probably cold and rough, not sunny and calm." "I think Wolf Larsen is a violent sea captain, not a philosopher who drinks tea." "The ship's name 'Ghost' sounds ominous, not friendly." |
