Teacher: "Good morning, everyone. Today is our summative assessment for the 'Travel and Transport' unit. Let's start by activating our vocabulary. I will give you one minute to create a mind map with the central word 'JOURNEY'. Write down all words and phrases you associate with it. Ready? Go!" (Times 60 seconds). "Time's up. Now, please look at your maps. I want each of you to choose the three most interesting or powerful associations from your list. For example, from my list: 'adventure', 'train tickets', and 'homecoming'. [Student's Name], please share your three words and briefly explain one of them." |
Students individually create a mind map on a sheet of paper. After one minute, they select three key associations. When called upon, a student shares their three words and gives a short explanation (e.g., "I chose 'suitcase' because it holds everything you need for a new place."). Other students listen actively. |
