Teacher: "Good morning! I want to share a short news headline with you: 'Local Community Cleans Park Together, but Litter Returns a Week Later.' What do you think happened? Why did the litter return? Discuss with your partner for one minute." After discussion: "Now, listen to these two versions of the same idea. Version A: 'The community cleaned the park. The litter returned.' Version B: 'The community cleaned the park. However, the litter returned a week later.' Which version sounds more connected and professional? Why? The word 'however' is a linking word. Today we will learn how these words act like glue for our ideas, especially in essays." |
Students listen, discuss the prediction with a partner (12 pairs, 1 group of 3 if uneven), and share ideas. They compare the two sentences and identify the linking word. | Provide the headline and sentences in written form on a card. Pair the SEN student with a supportive peer. Use visuals (picture of a clean vs. littered park). | Descriptors: Participates in discussion; makes a prediction; identifies the linking word in the example. No points. |
Projector/screen, slide with headline and two sentence versions. Printed cards for SEN students. AI Tool: ChatGPT used before the lesson to generate relevant, level-appropriate real-life headlines for the hook. |
