Teacher: "Good morning, class! Let's start with a puzzle. I am something everyone has, but no one wants to see me grow. I can be rational, but I can also be irrational and have a name ending in '-phobia'. I can make your heart race and your palms sweat. What am I? Take 1 minute to think and discuss with your neighbor." After 1 minute: "Okay, what are your hypotheses?" Expected Student Responses: "Fear?", "A phobia?", "Anxiety?" Teacher: "Excellent! The answer is 'Fear'. And today, we will explore its more persistent cousin: Phobias. Let's look at our topic: 'Fears and phobias'. What's the difference between a fear and a phobia in your opinion?" (Listens to 2-3 quick answers) "Great ideas. Let's dive deeper." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually for 30 seconds, then turn to a partner (13 students form 6 pairs + 1 group of 3) to discuss their hypotheses for 1 minute. Volunteers share their guesses with the class. |
