| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Riddle) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class. I have a riddle for you. Listen carefully: 'I am red, but not a rose. I am worn, but not clothing. I am silent, but speak of great sacrifice. I appear once a year in November, on the lapels of many. What am I?' Take 30 seconds to think, then share your hypothesis with your desk partner."
After pair discussion, ask for volunteers: "What do you think it is? Why?" Accept all answers. Then reveal: "The answer is a poppy, specifically the remembrance poppy. Today we will explore the day it symbolizes in Australia." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually, then discuss their hypotheses with a partner (e.g., "Maybe it's a flag?" "It could be a medal?"). Volunteers share ideas with the class. | Provide the riddle in written form on a card or screen. Pair SEN student with a supportive peer. Use a visual of a poppy as a non-verbal hint if needed. |
Descriptors:

Projector/screen, slide with the riddle text, image of a remembrance poppy.
