Teacher: "Good morning! Today we are talking about a beautiful and ancient place. I will show you a picture for 30 seconds. Your task is to write down as many English words as you can that come to your mind when you look at it. Ready? Timer starts... now!" (Shows an image of the mausoleum). After the timer: "Now, please, share one word with your partner. In 1 minute, I will ask 3 pairs to share one word each with the whole class."
AI Integration: Use an AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E) to create a highly detailed, atmospheric image of the mausoleum to spark more specific vocabulary. A tool like Mentimeter can be used to collect all words from students in real-time, creating a live word cloud. |
Students observe the image and individually write down associated words (e.g., old, building, dome, history, Kazakhstan, beautiful, stone). They then share one word with their assigned partner (13 students: 6 pairs + 1 group of 3). Selected pairs share words with the class. | Descriptors only (no points): • The student writes down at least 3 words. • The student actively shares a word with a partner. • The student's words are relevant to the image. |
