Teacher: "Good morning! Let's warm up our brains. I'm going to show you four book covers. You have 30 seconds to look and decide: Which one would you pick up first and why? Use the sentence starter: 'I would pick... because...' Ready? Go!" (Shows slides). After 30 sec: "Now, turn to your elbow partner and share your choice and reason. You have 1 minute each." Monitors pairs. | Students observe the book covers. They silently choose one. They turn to a partner (11 students: 5 pairs + 1 group of 3) and take turns sharing their preference and reason. | Descriptors only (no points): • The student expresses a clear preference. • The student provides a simple reason (e.g., "It looks exciting," "I like the cover"). • The student listens actively to their partner. |
• Projector/Screen • PowerPoint slides with 4 diverse book covers (e.g., fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, contemporary YA from different cultures). • Timer (online or phone). • AI Tool: AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E) used to create unique, engaging book cover visuals for the poll, stimulating interest and discussion. |
