| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (method: “What if…?”) |
Teacher: “Good morning, class! Today we are going to talk about how we report what other people say. Let’s start with a ‘What if…?’ question.” “What if you heard your friend tell someone a secret about you, and later you had to tell the teacher exactly what your friend said — but you wanted to be fair and not exaggerate? How would you report those words?” Allow 2–3 student variants. Write on board: “He said that… / She told me that…” Possible student answers: “I would say exactly what I heard.” / “I would use the same words but change the tense.” AI note: Teacher may use ChatGPT to generate 2–3 alternative “What if?” scenarios (e.g., a boss reporting an employee’s words) to display on screen. |
