Teacher: "Good morning, class. To start our summative assessment, I'm going to tell you a very short story about my last trip. Listen carefully." Teacher tells a story: "Last summer, I visited the beautiful mountains of Almaty. The air was fresh, and the scenery was breathtaking. I decided to go for a hike. On the way, I met a friendly local who gave me perfect directions. I followed them and reached the summit just in time for sunset. It was an unforgettable experience. The only strange thing was that at the top, I saw a penguin wearing a hat." Teacher: "So, what do you think? Does anything in my story seem out of place or unexpected? Turn to your partner and discuss for one minute." |
Students listen to the story. They then engage in pair work, discussing the story. Expected student responses: "A penguin in the mountains is impossible!", "The penguin is the unexpected part.", "Everything was normal until the last sentence." |
Descriptor: The student identifies the deliberate incongruent element (the penguin) in the teacher's story. Note: no points. |
- AI Tool Suggestion: An AI image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) could be used to create a visual of the story's climax (mountains with a penguin) to enhance engagement and highlight the "unexpected comment" concept. |
