Method: provocative question + quick voting + debrief

Teacher: «Good morning, class! Look at the screen. You can see a photo of a canyon.

Provocative question: Could a canyon be “unforgettable” if you visit it only once? Is one visit enough to call it unforgettable? Let’s vote — thumbs up for YES, thumbs down for NO.»

Teacher: «Look at the map: this is Kazakhstan, and here is the Sharyn Canyon.
Have you ever seen it or heard about it?
Turn to your partner for 30 seconds — what do you already know about it?»

Teacher collects 2–3 answers and writes key ideas on the board.

• Look at photo and map.
• Vote (thumbs up/down) — express initial opinion.
