| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...?) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a 'What if...?' question. What if you could travel back in time to meet any singer from the past? Who would it be and why? Think for 30 seconds. I'll ask a few of you to share."
Possible prompts: "What if you met Dimash Kudaibergen before his first big concert? What if you could ask Michael Jackson one question?" Listen to 3-4 student answers, write key verbs (e.g., met, asked, sang) on the board and highlight their past tense form. |
Students think individually, then volunteer answers. E.g., "I would meet Batyrkhan Shukenov. I would ask him how he wrote the song 'My Love'." Students listen to peers. | Provide a visual prompt (pictures of famous singers: Dimash, Michael Jackson, Ariana Grande). Offer sentence starters: "I would meet... because...". Allow responses in a mix of Kazakh/English initially. | Descriptors: Student attempts to answer the question using a past time context. Student participates in the discussion. Note: No points. |
Whiteboard/markers, projector with slide showing pictures of singers (Kazakh and international). |
