| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...?) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Today we're diving into the world of airports. I have a 'What if...?' question for you: What if you arrived at a giant, unfamiliar international airport and your phone was dead? How would you find your gate, your luggage, and your connecting flight? Think for 30 seconds, then share your ideas with a partner." After pair discussion: "Let's hear some strategies. Who would like to share their partner's idea?" Listens and writes key verbs on board (e.g., ask staff, look at signs/flyers, check information boards, listen to announcements). |
Students think individually, then discuss in pre-assigned pairs (5 pairs, 1 group of 3). They generate ideas like "look at the big screens," "find a map," "ask at an information desk," "listen for my flight number." Selected students share their partner's answer with the class. | Descriptors: The student contributes at least one relevant idea to the pair discussion. (no points) | Whiteboard/markers. Timer. |
