КСП «Elements» по английскому языку, 10 класс

• Students will be able to ask and respond to complex questions (e.g., cause-effect, compare-contrast, evaluate) about the key elements of SpaceX's Starship design using a non-fiction text.
• Students will be able to identify and explain at least three specific engineering elements (e.g., Raptor engine, heat shield, stainless steel structure) from the text with 80% accuracy in a paired discussion.
• Students will produce a tiered response (basic: label; core: describe function; advanced: analyse trade-offs) demonstrating comprehension of extended non-fiction text.

Teacher: "Good morning, Grade 10! Today we explore SpaceX's Elements. Let's start with a 'What if…?' question: What if SpaceX had to build Starship using only materials available in 1960? How would the key elements (engine, fuel, hull) change?"

Instructions: Think for 30 seconds, then share with a partner. I'll collect 3 ideas on the board. Use the Midjourney-generated image of a retro-futuristic Starship (on slide) as a hint.

Possible student responses: "Engine would be less powerful", "They'd use aluminium instead of stainless steel", "No reusable heat shield".

AI tool: Midjourney (image of 1960s-style Starship) to spark visual imagination.
