| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement ("What if...?" question) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Today we are reading for pleasure about our beautiful country. Let's start with a 'What if...?' question. What if you had to create a new tourist slogan for Kazakhstan to attract young travelers from other countries? What could it be? Think for 30 seconds, then share your ideas with your shoulder partner." Walks around, listens to ideas. Teacher: "Okay, let's hear some variants. Who would like to share their partner's idea?" Writes key words from 2-3 answers on the board (e.g., "Adventure in nature", "Modern and ancient", "Heart of Eurasia"). "Excellent ideas! These all connect to the identity of our country. Today, through reading, we will gather more information and arguments that could make such slogans even stronger." |
Students think individually, then discuss in pairs. Volunteers share their or their partner's slogan idea with the class. | Descriptors: The student participates in the discussion, offers an idea related to Kazakhstan's image. (No points) | Whiteboard/Interactive board, markers. |
