| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement ("What if...?") |
Teacher: "Good morning, class. Today, we're diving into a classic tale of the sea. I want you to think about this: What if you spent years of your life chasing one single, specific goal, and that goal was something huge, powerful, and potentially dangerous? What might drive a person to do that? Take 1 minute to think individually, then we'll share ideas. I'll write your suggestions on the board."
Teacher listens, writes key words (e.g., revenge, pride, curiosity, money, fame) on the board, and links them to today's topic: "These are powerful motivations. Today, we meet a character, Captain Ahab, who is driven by one of these. We'll read from Herman Melville's famous novel 'Moby Dick' to discover his opinion and obsession." |
Students think individually about the "What if..." question. They volunteer answers (e.g., "For revenge," "To prove they can," "Because they are obsessed"). They listen to peers and the teacher's introduction. |
Descriptors (no points):
|
Whiteboard/markers, student notebooks. AI Tool Suggestion: Use an AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E) to create a dramatic, stylized image of a whale and a ship to project as a visual hook during the question. This helps visualize the scale and drama of the pursuit. |
