| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (meme + discussion) |
Teacher shows a funny meme: “When you finally get through airport security but your baggage is still in another continent.” (Statue of Liberty / suitcase / confused traveller). Prompt: “Look at this – why might a picture of a crowded harbour and a giant statue be about us? In 30 seconds, tell your partner one connection to our unit ‘Controversial Issues’ or to the idea of ‘Gateway’.” Teacher circulates, listens to 2–3 pairs, invites one brief share. Value integration (Diligence & professionalism): “Today we’ll practise finishing tasks with quality – like packing a suitcase carefully, not rushing.” |

Descriptors (no points): • Participates in pair discussion. • Makes a relevant connection to the topic. • Shows curiosity and openness. |
