Teacher: "Good morning, class! Let's start with a quick brain-teaser. Listen carefully: 'I am not a doctor, but I can diagnose you. I am not a bandage, but I can cover you. You feel me when you run too much or fall down. What am I?' (Pause for 10 seconds). Discuss with your neighbor for 30 seconds and share your hypothesis."
After discussion: "Okay, let's hear your ideas. What do you think it is?" (Listens to 2-3 student pairs). "Excellent guesses! The answer is 'an injury' or 'pain'. This perfectly leads us to our topic today: Learning about illness and injuries. We will listen, read, and learn how to talk about them and give advice." |
Students listen to the riddle. They discuss in pre-assigned pairs (6 pairs, 1 individual will join the nearest pair). They formulate a hypothesis (e.g., "a bruise", "a sprain", "a headache"). Selected pairs share their answers with the class. | Oral formative assessment: Teacher observes participation and the relevance of hypotheses to the topic of health/injuries. | Whiteboard/Marker. AI Tool: ChatGPT (pre-session) to generate a thematic riddle. AI helps create an engaging, level-appropriate hook. |
