| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...?) |
Teacher: "Good morning, explorers! Today, we're going on a journey of the mind. I have a 'What if...?' question for you. What if your attention span was a magic carpet that could take you anywhere to learn about it? Where would you fly first and what is the very first thing you would notice? Think for a moment." (Pause). "Let's hear some ideas. Who would like to share their magic carpet destination and the first detail they'd spot?"
Possible Student Responses: "The moon – I'd notice the craters." / "The Amazon rainforest – I'd hear the animals." / "Ancient Egypt – I'd see a giant pyramid." Teacher: "Fantastic ideas! You've just started an 'attention cycle' – you focused on a destination and noticed a key detail. Today, we'll learn to map out these creative attention cycles to describe our Dream Destinations." |
Students think individually, then volunteer answers. They listen to peers' ideas. | Descriptors (no points): • Student proposes a destination. • Student identifies one initial observation. • Student listens actively to peers. |
Whiteboard/Flipchart, markers, AI tool for idea generation (e.g., ChatGPT to quickly generate example "What if..." scenarios if students are stuck). |
