Teacher: "Good morning! Today, we're diving into a mystery. I will show you pictures of five animals for 30 seconds. Your mission is to remember them. Ready? Go!" (Displays slides with Dodo, Woolly Mammoth, Tasmanian Tiger, Golden Toad, and a living Panda). "Time's up! Now, the challenge: Which of these animals do you think are extinct and which are endangered? Discuss with your partner for 1 minute. I will use a random name picker to select pairs to share." Script: "Aruzhan, what did you and Asel decide? Why do you think the Dodo is extinct?" (Listens, confirms/clarifies). "Excellent. The words 'extinct' and 'endangered' are our key words today. Let's explore why this happens." |
Students observe the images intently. They discuss in pairs, making guesses based on prior knowledge. Selected students share their reasoning with the class (e.g., "We think the mammoth is extinct because we only see it in museums"). |
Descriptors:
|
Timer (online or phone), PowerPoint/Google Slides with animal images, random name picker app (e.g., Wheel of Names). AI Tool Integration: An AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E) can be used beforehand to create consistent, engaging stylized images of the extinct and endangered animals to capture attention. |
