| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement – “What if…?” |
Teacher: “Good morning, Grade 8! Let’s start with a ‘What if…?’ Imagine: What if all nature reserves in the world disappeared tomorrow? How would our planet change? What would we lose? Think for 20 seconds, then share with your partner. I’ll ask a few of you.” Possible student variants: “Animals would die”, “No clean air”, “We wouldn’t see rare birds”, “Tourism would decrease”, “No place for endangered species”. Teacher writes 2–3 ideas on the board. “Great thinking! Today we’ll explore two real reserves and learn to understand nature vocabulary from context.” |
