КСП «Human biology» по английскому языку, 10 класс

1. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to skim the text “Can we put an end to aging?” and identify content that requires closer reading (main ideas, key details).
2. Students will formulate and respond to complex questions (Why…? What if…? How might…?) about human biology and aging, using information from the text and their own reasoning.
3. Students will collaborate in pairs/micro-groups to create a creative solution (poster/proposal) that demonstrates solidarity and mutual assistance in addressing age-related challenges in society.

Teacher: “Good morning, Grade 10! Let’s start with a bold question. What if scientists discovered a pill that could stop human aging completely – would you take it? Why or why not? Think for 30 seconds, then share with your neighbour. Let’s hear a few ideas.”

Teacher writes 2-3 student variants on the board (e.g., “Yes, because I want to stay healthy”, “No, because overpopulation is a problem”).

Transition: “Today we will read about real experiments on aging and think about the science and the ethics. Our values: unity and solidarity – how can we support each other in a world where some people age faster or have age-related diseases?”
