| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: Meme discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at this picture on the screen. [Shows a funny meme of a confused-looking cow with text: 'Me yesterday: I was in the field. Me today: I am in the barn. My life is so exciting!'] Why is this funny? Why is this picture about us and our lesson today?" Possible prompts: "Look at the words 'yesterday' and 'today'. What changed? What word tells us about yesterday? Yes, 'was'! Today we start a magical journey into the past with our farm animal friends. We will learn to say where they were and where we were!" |
Students observe the meme, laugh, and think. They raise hands to answer. Possible responses: "The cow is in different places." / "It says 'was' for yesterday." / "It's funny because the cow thinks its life is not exciting." Students connect the meme to the idea of talking about past location. | Descriptors (no points): • The student shows interest by looking at the image. • The student attempts to explain the connection between the image and the lesson topic (past time, verb 'was', location). |
Projector/Screen. Meme image. AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Canva AI) was used to create a custom, engaging meme featuring a farm animal with clear "was/am" contrast to visually introduce the grammar point. |
