Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a travel riddle. I'm thinking of a word. It's a verb. We use it a lot. It can mean to create something, but when you add a small word to it, its meaning changes completely. For example, when you are on a train and you need to invent a story about why you're late, you might... what? Or, when you see a ship heading towards the harbour, it is... what? What verb am I thinking of?" Allow for hypotheses. Teacher: "Exactly! It's 'make'. Today we will explore how 'make' teams up with other words to create new meanings – phrasal verbs. These are very common when we talk about travel experiences." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think and offer hypotheses (e.g., "do", "go", "make"). They participate in the discussion, trying to guess the verb and the examples. | Descriptors: The student participates in the discussion, offers a logical hypothesis related to the riddle. No points. |
