| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Quick vote & debrief) |
Teacher script: 1. Greet class: "Good morning! Today we'll write about practical jokes. Quick warm-up." 2. Present provocative question on board/projector: "Is a practical joke ever justified?" Ask students to vote: Yes / No / Depends. 3. Ask 3 quick volunteers to justify their short vote (10–15 sec each). Prompt examples: "Why yes?", "Why not?", "When does it depend?" 4. Quick debrief (1 min): "We will read a short story and then plan our own narrative. Think about respect and how jokes affect people and culture." 5. Give clear instructions: "Vote now by show of fingers (thumb = Yes, index = No, middle = Depends)." 6. Transition: "Now, read the short text on your handout and underline any actions that show respect or disrespect." |
- Students show their vote with fingers quickly. - 3 volunteers give 15-second justifications (sample responses below). - Students follow teacher to get handouts and prepare to read. |
Descriptors (no points): - Student participates in quick vote and gives a short reason (spoken). - Student shows readiness to read and listens to instructions. No points. |
- Projector or board for question. - Handout: short reading text "A school practical joke" (printed, 12 copies). - Timer or phone for 30s. - AI support suggested: polling tool (e.g., Mentimeter or a simple Google Form) to collect votes quickly. |
