Teacher: “Good morning, Grade 9! Look at the board: ‘I travelled 10,000 km, saw the Eiffel Tower, ate a croissant – now I really understand Paris and the French.’ Do you agree? Let’s vote: thumbs up (yes), thumbs down (no), or sideways (partly).” Teacher counts votes, asks 2–3 students to explain their choice briefly. Teacher: “Interesting! Today we’ll explore if tourist attractions really show us the soul of a place. You’ll build arguments and respond on the spot.” Uses Mentimeter or simple show of hands. No right/wrong. |
