Teacher: "Good morning, class! I want you to look at this picture on the board. It shows a school cafeteria with two options: only healthy food vs. a mix of healthy and 'junk' food. This is a real debate in many schools. I have a short news headline here: 'School bans sugary drinks, students protest.' Based on this picture and headline, I want you to think individually for one minute: What is your immediate opinion on this issue? Should schools control what students eat and drink? Write down one sentence starting with 'I think that...' on your sticky note. Then, predict: what do you think the main arguments in this news article might be?" | Students observe the picture and headline. They think individually and write their one-sentence opinion on a sticky note. They make a mental prediction about possible arguments (e.g., "health vs. freedom of choice"). |
Descriptors (no points): • The student formulates a simple opinion statement. • The student attempts to predict a relevant argument. |
Projector/Whiteboard with an image of a school cafeteria and the news headline. Sticky notes, pens. AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney) was used to create a customized, engaging visual prompt for the hook. |
