| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a riddle. I am something you do every year, but it's not your birthday. I connect the past to the present. I can involve food, clothes, or songs. I make you feel you belong. What am I? Think for 30 seconds, then share your hypothesis with your partner."
After pair discussion: "So, what do you think? Yes, 'a tradition' is correct! Why do you think traditions are 'done every year' and 'connect the past to the present'? (Listens to 2-3 answers). Excellent. Today, you will become researchers and storytellers of traditions." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually, then discuss their hypotheses with a partner. Volunteers share answers and reasoning with the class (e.g., "It's a tradition because we repeat them, like Nauryz," "They are from our grandparents"). | Descriptors only (no points):
