| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (“What if…?” question) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a quick imagination game. I have a 'What if...?' question for you: What if all the fiction books in the world suddenly disappeared? What would change for you, for society, for how we understand people? Think for 30 seconds, then share your first thought with your elbow partner. I'll ask a few pairs to share." Script: "Time's up. Partner A, share your idea with Partner B. Now switch. Okay, who would like to share their partner's interesting idea? (Listens to 2-3 responses). Great points. This connects directly to our topic today: the real, tangible benefits of reading fiction. Our goal is to explore these benefits and see how they apply to our own lives." |
Students think individually, then discuss the question in pre-assigned pairs (9 pairs, 1 group of 3). They listen to their partner and formulate a concise response to share with the class. Possible responses: "We'd lose empathy," "Movies would be different," "It would be harder to dream," "We wouldn't have common stories." | Descriptors: Actively participates in the discussion; shares an idea related to the prompt; listens attentively to a peer. Note: No points. |
Timer (online or physical). Classroom seating arranged for pair work. |
