| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: “What if…?”) |
Teacher (full script): “Good morning, everyone! Look outside — we still have snow in March. But what if, in 20 years, winter in North Kazakhstan lasts only two weeks? What if permafrost under our houses melts? I want you to imagine a chain reaction. I’ll start: ‘What if global temperatures rise by 3°C?’ Pass a ball — each person adds one consequence. You have 2 minutes. Let’s hear your wildest, most creative ideas!” Possible student responses: “Ice caps melt → sea level rises → coastal cities flood → people move → more CO₂ from transport → …” (teacher writes key ideas on board). AI tool suggestion: Use ChatGPT (or similar LLM) to generate three “what if” scenarios beforehand; display on screen as inspiration. Use Mentimeter for real‑time word cloud of chain‑reaction ideas (if internet available). |
