| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Meme discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! Look at this picture on the board. [Shows meme: A cartoon mammoth looking at a 'No Hunting' sign that has just been put up by a tiny human, with the caption 'A bit late, don't you think?'] Why is this funny? And more importantly, why is this topic about US, here in Kazakhstan?"
Prompt questions: "What is the animal? What is the human doing? What is the problem? Have we lost animals like this in our region?" Listen to responses, then connect: "Exactly. Today we're exploring a 'lost world' of animals from our past and learning the grammar scientists use to describe what happened to them." |
Students observe the meme, think, and volunteer answers.
Possible responses: "The mammoth is extinct." / "Humans hunted them." / "It's about history and our actions." / "We had mammoths and tigers here." Students engage in a brief whole-class discussion. |
Descriptors:
|
Projector/Screen. Meme image. AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) used to create a custom, culturally relevant meme featuring Central Asian extinct fauna (e.g., a Caspian tiger). This visual hook immediately engages students and personalizes the global topic. |
