| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Let's start with a riddle. Listen carefully: 'I have 12 parts, but I am not a chocolate bar. I change four times, bringing sun, rain, snow, and flowers. What am I?'" (Pause for hypotheses). "Yes, it's a year! Today we will talk about the parts of a year: months and seasons, and the animals that live in our world. Let's watch a short video to see them all!"
AI Integration: Use an AI video curation tool (like YouTube Kids with AI filters) to quickly find and play a safe, engaging 1-minute video summarizing months, seasons, and animals. |
Students listen to the riddle. They raise hands to give guesses (e.g., "A calendar?", "The year!", "Seasons!"). They watch the introductory video attentively. | Descriptors: The student actively listens to the riddle. The student attempts to guess the answer. The student watches the video with focus. No points. |
