| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (meme + discussion) |
Show a funny meme: "Me trying to explain my teenage years to my parents – they just laugh." (image: confused teen vs laughing adult). Teacher: “Look at this meme. Why is this about us? What teenage experience does it show? Turn to your partner and share one thing that makes your teenage years special or funny. In 30 seconds we’ll hear two ideas.” Then ask: “What do you already know about the 70s? (point to the board with ‘Uncle Steve’s teenage years’).” |
• Look at the meme, smile/comment. • Pair-share: one memory/thought about being a teenager. • Two volunteers share with class. • Activate prior knowledge: mention music, fashion, no internet. |
• Provide a printed meme with short caption in L1/Russian if needed. • Sentence starter on board: “My teenage years are special because …” |
Descriptors (no points): • engages with visual stimulus • shares one idea with partner • shows interest in topic |
