Teacher: "Good morning! I have a riddle for you. Listen carefully: 'I have cities, but no houses. I have forests, but no trees. I have rivers, but no water. I am a place of endless adventure found within the pages of a book. What am I?' (Pause for 30 seconds). Let's hear your hypotheses."
Possible prompts: "Think about our unit 'Reading for Pleasure'. Where can your imagination take you?" "What did Jules Verne create in his stories?" After several guesses, confirm: "Exactly! It's a 'map' or, more broadly, a 'fictional world' in a book. Today, we'll use a map to begin a journey into one of the most famous fictional worlds ever created." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually, then volunteer answers (e.g., "A map!", "A story!", "An imagination!", "A book!"). They connect the riddle to the theme of adventure and reading. | Descriptors: The student participates by offering a hypothesis related to the riddle. Shows initial curiosity about the lesson topic. No points. |
