| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...? question) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a short video and a 'What if...?' question. Please watch this 1-minute video about a world without waste management." (Plays video). "Now, think: What if all packaging disappeared tomorrow? How would our daily life change? Share your first thought with a partner. You have 1 minute."
After pair discussion: "Who would like to share their partner's idea? Let's hear 2-3 variants." Transition: "Interesting ideas! This connects directly to our topic 'The Land of Plenty' and a text we'll work with today called 'We're Talking Rubbish'. We will explore how language is used to discuss these big issues." |
- Watch the video attentively. - In pairs (5 pairs, 1 group of 3), discuss the "What if...?" question. - Actively listen to a partner and formulate their idea. - Volunteers share their partner's variant with the class. |
Descriptors (no points): • The student engages with the video prompt. • The student participates in paired discussion. • The student's response shows a preliminary connection to the topic of consumption/waste. |
- Video: "A World Without Recycling" (short, animated). - Projector/Screen. - AI Tool: YouTube/Edpuzzle for curated video with embedded reflective question. |
