| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Provocative question & voting) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Today we dive into the world of animation. Before we start, a quick question: Is creating a cartoon more about technical skill or creative storytelling? Show me your vote: thumbs up for technical skill, thumbs down for creative storytelling, or a flat hand if you think it's equally both." (Pauses for voting). "Interesting! Let's hear a couple of quick reasons. [Calls on 2-3 students]. Thank you. Both are crucial. In this lesson, we will focus on the storytelling part – writing a script. This is where your creativity meets clear writing, which is a key professional skill for any animator." | Students vote using hand signals. Selected students briefly share their opinions, e.g., "Technical skill because you need to draw well," or "Storytelling because a good story makes people watch." |
Descriptors (no points): • Actively participates in voting. • Volunteers or provides a brief reasoned opinion when called upon. |
