Teacher: "Good morning, class. Before we start, I want to show you something." (Projects a news headline: "Storm Chaser's Incredible Footage Saves Town"). "Imagine you are a storm chaser. You see a huge tornado heading towards a small town. What would you do? Predict the outcome. Would you run, film it, warn people, or something else? Discuss with your partner for 1 minute."
After discussion: "Today's story is about a man who made an incredible choice during a tornado. Let's see if your predictions match his story." |
Students discuss the scenario in pairs (8 pairs total). They make predictions and share brief ideas with the class (e.g., "I would warn everyone," "I think he filmed it to show people the danger"). | Provide the news headline with key words (storm chaser, footage, save) visually highlighted. Allow partner to scribe ideas. | Descriptors: Student participates in pair discussion and makes a verbal prediction related to the scenario. No points. |
Projector/Screen, slide with news headline. AI Tool: A text-to-image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) used beforehand to create a realistic image of a storm chaser near a tornado to hook visual learners. |
