| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement: “What if…?” |
Teacher: “Good morning, Grade 8! Today we explore technology in our lives. Let’s start with a question: What if suddenly all technology – phones, computers, internet, AI – disappeared for one week? How would your day change? Think for 30 seconds, then share with your neighbour. I’ll collect your ideas on the board.” Teacher writes student responses (e.g., “no social media”, “can’t do homework”, “boring”, “more time with family”) and clusters them. |

Descriptors (no points): • Participates in pair discussion • Offers one original idea • Respects others’ contributions |
Whiteboard/markers Timer (phone or online) AI tool: ChatGPT – teacher can pre‑generate 3–4 “what if” variations for extension (optional). |
