| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Meme discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at this picture on the board. [Shows a meme of a cartoon character with a thought bubble full of random, jumping thoughts like 'book', 'lunch', 'game', 'what page was I on?'] Why do you think I'm showing you this? What is it about?" Possible prompts: "Have you ever felt like this while reading? When?" "What does this tell us about our minds?" Teacher: "Exactly! Our attention can jump around. Today, we'll practice holding our attention on books to have better talks about them." |
Students observe the meme. They raise hands to share ideas. Possible responses: "It's about getting distracted." "It's hard to focus on reading." "Our brains think about many things." Students listen to the lesson introduction. |
Descriptors only (no points): • Observes the visual stimulus. • Volunteers an idea related to attention or distraction. • Listens to the teacher's link to the lesson topic. |
Projector/Interactive Whiteboard. Meme image (prepared slide). AI Tool Suggestion: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Canva's AI) to create a custom, age-appropriate meme about reading distraction. This visual hook immediately engages students and makes the abstract concept of attention span relatable. |
