Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at this picture on the screen. What do you see? [Shows image of the Aisha Bibi Mausoleum]. Now, read the title of our text: 'The Mousaleum of Aish Bibi'. What do you think this text will be about? Is it a story, a history lesson, or a travel guide? Discuss your prediction with your elbow partner for 1 minute." After discussion: "Let's hear some predictions. Ayan, what do you think?" (Possible student response: "I think it's about an old building and maybe a love story.") "Interesting! Now, let's listen to the audio of the first paragraph to check our predictions. Listen for the gist – the main idea." |
Students observe the picture and title. In pairs (6 pairs total), they discuss and formulate a prediction about the text's content. They listen to the recording attentively. | Provide a printed copy of the picture with key elements labeled (e.g., dome, wall, pattern). Offer sentence starters for prediction: "I think the text will be about... because...". Pair the SEN student with a supportive peer. |
Descriptors: The student actively participates in the pair discussion. The student makes a logical prediction related to the visual and title. The student listens attentively to the recording. No points. |
Projector/Screen, image of Aisha Bibi Mausoleum, audio recording of text (Ex1), textbook p.60. AI Tool: AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney/DALL-E) used to create a "before/after" restoration visualization of the mausoleum to spark curiosity. |
