Teacher: "Good morning! Today's topic is 'Record-breaking food'. Let's start with a 1-minute mind map. On your mini-whiteboards, write down all words you associate with 'world records' and 'food'. Ready? Go!" (Times 60 seconds). "Time's up. Look at your maps. Now, choose the three most interesting or surprising associations. In your pairs (pre-assigned), discuss: Why did you choose these three? What do they tell us about our topic?" (Circulates, listens to discussions). AI Integration: Use a word cloud generator (e.g., Mentimeter) live. Students submit associations via smartphones. The AI creates a visual map, highlighting most frequent words to spark discussion. |
Students individually create a mind map on mini-whiteboards or paper. They then work in 11 pre-assigned pairs (22 students). They share their three chosen words and explain their reasoning to their partner. Possible responses: "I wrote 'biggest pizza' because I saw it on TV," "I chose 'competition' because records are about winning." |
Descriptors (no points): • The student contributes at least 3 relevant associations to the mind map. • The student actively participates in the pair discussion, explaining their choice of words. |
Mini-whiteboards/markers, paper, pens, timer. AI: Mentimeter or similar word cloud service, projector. |
