| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Visual Hook & Discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! Let's start with this image." (Projects meme: A person with a huge stack of books titled "History", "Science", "Biographies" looking excited, next to a person with one fiction book looking bored. Caption: "My TBR pile vs. Their TBR pile.")
"Look at this meme. Why do you think this is about us, or about readers in general? What is the joke? Discuss with your neighbor for one minute." After discussion: "So, the 'To Be Read' (TBR) pile for non-fiction can seem huge and serious. But is it a chore or a pleasure? Today, we'll find out how to read non-fiction not just for information, but for genuine enjoyment and personal growth." |
Students observe the meme, discuss its meaning in pairs. Possible responses: "It shows non-fiction readers are more serious/have more to learn," "It's about different tastes in reading," "Maybe non-fiction books are longer or seem more difficult." They share ideas with the class. | Descriptors (no points):
