Teacher: "Good morning, scientists! Imagine you're trying to read a book, but the TV is on with a very exciting cartoon. Is it easy or hard to focus on the book? Why? (Wait for responses). That struggle is about your attention span. Today, we will be real scientists and run an experiment to test our own attention. I have a challenge for you. Look at this list of color words written in different colored inks. Your task is to say the COLOR of the ink, not read the word. Let's try a few together. (Demonstrate on board: word 'RED' written in blue ink). I predict many of us will find this tricky. What do you predict? Write your prediction on your mini-whiteboard." | Students share personal experiences about distractions. They practice the sample task with the teacher. They write a simple prediction (e.g., "I think it will be hard," "I think I will make mistakes"). | Descriptors: Student participates in discussion; makes a relevant prediction. (no points) | Interactive whiteboard or chart with example of conflicting color-word (e.g., "RED" in blue). Mini-whiteboards and markers. AI Tool: An AI image generator (like DALL-E or Canva's AI) can be used beforehand to create engaging, visually complex "find the object" images to quickly demonstrate the challenge of focused attention. |
