| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (What if...? question) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Today, we are going on a fantastic journey. I want you to think about this: What if you discovered a secret map that led to a hidden world inside our planet? What would that world be like? What would you need to bring? Who would you take with you? Turn to your neighbor and share your ideas for one minute. Ready? Go!"
After one minute: "Okay, let's hear some of your amazing ideas. Who would like to share their partner's or their own plan?" Possible prompts: "What kind of creatures?" "How would you travel?" "What dangers might you face?" |
Students discuss the "What if..." question in pairs (6 pairs, 1 group of 3 if 13 students). They brainstorm ideas about the hidden world, equipment, and companions. Volunteers share their or their partner's ideas with the whole class.
Possible responses: "It would be full of crystals and giant mushrooms." "I'd bring a powerful flashlight and ropes." "I'd take my best friend and a scientist." |
Descriptors (no points):

Whiteboard/marker, timer.
