Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at this image on the board. [Displays a meme showing a classical painting with a modern, funny caption like 'When you finish your homework']. Why do you think I'm showing you this meme at the start of a lesson about describing art? What does it have to do with us?" Possible prompts: "Think about the words used in the caption. How do they change how we see the painting?" "Is this a formal or informal way to talk about art?" |
Students observe the meme. They think individually for 30 seconds, then share ideas with a partner (9 students = 4 pairs + 1 group of 3). They discuss the connection between humor, language, and art description. Volunteers share answers with the class. |
