| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! I have a riddle for you. It moves without legs, breathes without lungs, and has laws that are not written on land. It can be a prison and a home. What is it?" (Pause for hypotheses). "Think about our unit 'Reading for Pleasure'. Let's hear your ideas." Possible student responses: "The ocean?", "A ship?", "A submarine?". Teacher: "Excellent ideas! Today, we dive into Jules Verne's classic 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'. The 'Nautilus' is our setting—a submarine with its own captain and its own rules. Let's explore." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually for 30 seconds, then share their hypotheses with the class. They engage in a brief whole-class discussion. | Descriptors: The student participates by offering a hypothesis related to the riddle. (no points) | Whiteboard/Interactive board, marker. AI Tool: ChatGPT to generate alternative riddles or clues if students need more prompting. |
