| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: Meme discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Look at this picture on the board. [Shows meme: A futuristic flying car stuck in a traffic jam, with a caption 'The future is here... and it's still gridlocked.'] Why do you think I chose this picture for our lesson today? What does it tell us about travel and transport?"
Possible prompts: "Is it funny? Why? What problem is it showing? Does it connect to our unit?" Script: "So, we're laughing, but it's a real problem. Today, we're going to listen to experts discussing solutions. Our goal is to become 'meaning detectives' – to listen not just to the words, but to what is implied. And then, we'll use our creativity to imagine our own solutions." |
Students observe the meme. They discuss in pairs or as a whole class.
Possible responses: "It's about us because we all face traffic jams." / "It shows that even new technology might not solve old problems." / "It implies we need smarter systems, not just faster cars." |
Descriptors:

Projector/Interactive Whiteboard. Meme image (pre-loaded). AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) used beforehand to create a custom, engaging meme on the topic of futuristic transport problems. |
