| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement – Storytelling with a deliberate mistake |
Teacher says: “Listen to a short story about a celebration. Find the mistake — something that is NOT true about Kazakhstan’s traditions. ‘Last Nauryz, my family decorated a fir tree, sang Christmas carols and waited for presents from Ayaz Ata. We cooked turkey and exchanged Valentine cards. Then we visited the Baikonur Cosmodrome to watch a rocket launch — that’s our family tradition.’ After story, ask: “What was wrong? What values does Nauryz actually celebrate?” (Independence, spring, unity, family).” |
Students listen, raise hands, spot mistakes: fir tree, Christmas carols, Ayaz Ata, turkey, Valentine cards. Suggest correct Nauryz traditions (yurt, kozhe, altybakan, etc.) | Descriptors (no points): • spots at least 2 deliberate mistakes • contributes one correct Nauryz tradition • shows respect for Kazakh culture | Whiteboard, markers, picture of Nauryz dastarkhan |
