| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: Image analysis & discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at the screen. What do you see?" (Displays a meme: A picture of a confused-looking astronaut holding a calendar with future dates circled, with the caption "My schedule for next week: Monday - orbit Earth, Tuesday - fix satellite, Wednesday - discover alien life???").
"Why is this funny? And more importantly, why is this topic about us today? Think about the words 'discover alien life???' – what is the astronaut doing?" (Elicits: making a prediction/plan). "Exactly! Today, we are all becoming space explorers with our language. We will learn to make smart, grammatical predictions about the future of space and Earth, just like scientists and journalists do." |
Students observe the meme, laugh, and share interpretations. They respond to teacher's questions, identifying the humor in the uncertain prediction and connecting it to the lesson topic. Possible responses: "He's not sure," "He's predicting what might happen," "It's about the future." | Oral formative assessment: Observing student responses for engagement and initial understanding of the concept of prediction. |
- Projector/Screen. - Meme image (pre-loaded). - AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) used beforehand to create a custom, engaging meme on the topic of space predictions. |
