| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: news hook) |
Teacher says: "Good morning, class! Look at this news headline (shows on screen): 'Only 4,500 snow leopards left in the wild!' Think about that number. What do you think will happen in 10 years? Turn to your partner and predict the outcome. Use the phrase: 'I think that in 10 years, snow leopards will...' because... Give two reasons." Teacher observes pair discussions, listens for key vocabulary and reasoning. |
Students discuss in pairs. Possible responses: "I think that in 10 years, snow leopards will be extinct because people hunt them and their habitat is shrinking." / "I think they will survive because many organizations protect them now." |
Descriptors (no points): • Student participates in pair discussion • Gives a prediction with at least one reason • Uses topic-related vocabulary |
