Teacher: "Good morning! Look at this short video clip of a huge, joyful ice palace and people in red hats celebrating in the snow. Where do you think this is? What's happening?" (Plays a 30-second clip). "Let's predict: What do you think is the main goal of such a big winter festival?" Expected student answers: "Maybe in Canada?", "It's a carnival!", "To have fun in winter.", "To attract tourists." Teacher: "Excellent predictions! Today we are exploring the Quebec Winter Carnival. By the end of the lesson, you'll use what you learn to describe a festival from our own region with similar detail." |
Students watch the video, make predictions about the location and purpose of the festival, and share ideas with the class. | Descriptors: The student actively participates in the discussion, makes a logical prediction based on the visual prompt. No points. |
