| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (meme) |
Teacher: “Look at this picture (meme: a crowded bus with text ‘The bus that takes forever — relative pronoun? Who? Which? That?’). Why is this about us today? Discuss in pairs for 1 minute.” After pair talk: “We use relative clauses to describe people, things, places. Today we’ll make our own sentences about transport.” AI tool suggestion (for teacher prep): use ChatGPT to generate 3 similar transport memes, but for the lesson only one image is displayed. |
Students look at the meme, turn to a partner (pair: 8 pairs, one group of 3) and discuss: “The bus that takes forever – that is a relative clause!” Share ideas with class. | Pair with a stronger reader; image provides visual support; simplified question: “What is the bus like?” | Descriptors (no points): participates in pair discussion, makes a connection to relative clauses. | Projector / smartboard, meme image (bus cartoon), slide with meme. |
