Teacher: "Good morning! Today we're talking about travel souvenirs. Look at this picture." (Shows a meme: A tourist looking happy holding an ivory tusk with the caption "Best vacation souvenir ever!" and a second panel showing a sad elephant with the caption "Worst family vacation ever."). "Why is this picture funny and sad at the same time? Why is this topic about us, as travelers and global citizens? Discuss with your partner for 1 minute." Circulates, listens to discussions. Elicits ideas: "So, what did you discuss? (Possible answers: It's about animal cruelty, illegal trade, tourists not knowing). Yes, today we learn about 'illegal souvenirs'." | Students look at the image, discuss in pairs (6 pairs total). They share their ideas with the class. They activate prior knowledge about travel, souvenirs, and animals. | Provide the meme with simple, clear labels ("tourist", "elephant tusk", "sad elephant"). Pair the SEN student with a supportive peer. Teacher provides sentence starters: "This is about us because..." | Descriptors only (no points): • The student participates in the pair discussion. • The student attempts to express an opinion on the image's message. |
