| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement: Meme analysis |
Teacher shows a meme: a cartoon of a student thinking hard with the text “When the teacher asks a ‘why’ question and you suddenly forget your whole life”. Teacher: “Look at this meme. Why is this about us today? In one minute, discuss with your partner: what does this meme say about higher-order questions? Be ready to share.” (Teacher circulates, listens, encourages brief responses.) Follow-up: “Great! Today we will practise exactly those ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions — the ones that make you think. And we’ll do it like professionals.” |
- Students observe the meme. - In pairs (парная работа) they discuss the meaning: “It shows that higher‑order questions require deep thinking.” - Two pairs share their ideas. |
Descriptors (no points): • Participates in pair discussion. • Relates meme to the lesson topic. • Uses at least one phrase about thinking/analysing. |
Meme image (projected), whiteboard, markers. AI tool suggestion: Use Midjourney to generate the meme or ChatGPT to create a funny dialogue about higher‑order questions. |
