Teacher script: "Good morning, class! Look at this short news headline: ‘Cat Island: Where felines outnumber people 10 to 1’. Have you ever heard of a place where cats are the main residents? Today we’ll explore two very unusual islands. First, let’s predict: what makes these islands ‘different’? In pairs, discuss for 1 minute – then share one idea." AI tool suggestion (for teacher): Use ChatGPT to generate 2‑3 alternative real‑life news hooks (e.g., “Island with alien‑looking trees”) if needed. Midjourney can create a quick visual of a cat‑shaped cabin to spark curiosity. |
