Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a mystery. Listen carefully: 'I am built by many hands, but I have no hands myself. I am written in the past, but I tell you about the present. I am often found in news reports and history books. What am I?' Think for a moment, then share your ideas with your partner." After 1 minute: "Let's hear some hypotheses. What could it be?" (Expected answers: a book, a story, a building, a law). Teacher listens, then reveals: "The answer is a 'sentence in the passive voice'. It's 'built' (by many hands) and 'written' (in the past). Today, we'll learn to master this mysterious grammatical structure." | Students listen to the riddle. They discuss in pairs, generating hypotheses. Volunteers share their guesses with the class. They listen to the explanation and connect it to the lesson topic. | Descriptors: The student participates in the discussion, offers a logical hypothesis, and shows curiosity about the topic's link to the riddle. No points. |
