1. Greeting & Visual Hook: "Good morning, class! Please look at the screen. What do you see?" (Display a funny meme: a cartoon penguin attempting a complex breakdance move with the caption "When you hear your favorite song anywhere."). 2. Prompting Discussion: "Why is this funny? Can you relate? Now, think deeper: why is a topic about dancing from around the world relevant to us, here in this classroom?" Elicit ideas. Guide: "Dance is a universal language. It connects people, tells stories, and is part of everyone's culture, including ours." 3. Introducing Topic & Objectives: "Today, we are going on a global dance journey. We will listen, read, and learn new words to become cultural explorers. Our main mission is to discover how dance expresses identity and creativity." |
