Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at these two pictures on the board/screen. [Shows picture 1: a traditional Kazakh beshbarmak; Picture 2: sushi from Japan]. I want you to think for a moment: Why do you think people in Kazakhstan historically ate a lot of meat and dough dishes, while people in Japan eat so much fish and rice? Talk to your partner for one minute and make a prediction. What factors could influence this?"
Teacher circulates, listens to predictions. After 1 min: "Okay, let's hear some ideas." (Takes 2-3 answers, e.g., "because of animals we have," "they are near the sea"). Teacher: "Excellent predictions. Today we will read a text that explores exactly this question: 'What influences the food on your plate?' Let's see if your predictions match the author's arguments." |
Students observe the pictures. They discuss in pairs, making predictions about the reasons for different food cultures.
Students volunteer their predictions to the whole class. |
