Teacher: "Good morning! I want to show you a headline from a popular lifestyle magazine: 'Is Your Smartphone Making You Lazy and Jealous?' What do you think this article might be about? Turn to your neighbor and predict two things the author could discuss." (Wait 1 min). "Now, who can share a prediction?" (Listens to 2-3 responses). "Interesting ideas. These traits – laziness, jealousy – have been discussed for centuries under the concept of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. Today, we'll explore this topic through reading and creative writing." | Students discuss the headline in pairs (5 pairs total). They make predictions (e.g., "It might say we compare our lives to others on social media," "It could say we don't exercise because of apps"). Volunteers share their predictions with the class. | Pre-written keywords (lazy, jealous, social media, compare) provided on a card for the pair discussion. Teacher checks in with the pair. | Descriptors: Student participates in pair discussion. Student makes a logical prediction related to the headline. No points. |
Projector/screen, slide with the news headline. AI Tool: ChatGPT to generate modern, relatable headlines linking to abstract concepts for the hook. |
