| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement – “Urban Explorer Speed Round” |
Teacher: “Good morning, explorers! Look at the board – I’ll show 6 pictures (bus, bike, cable car, cruise, walking, helicopter). In pairs, you have 45 seconds to write down as many English words connected to each picture as you can. Ready? Go!” After timer: “Share one word per pair. I’ll write them on the board. Now, which of these would you choose to ‘become an urban explorer’? Tell your partner in 15 seconds.” Teacher cues: “What word describes a view from high up? (panoramic) What does ‘off the beaten track’ mean? Let’s find out today!” AI tool used: Timer visible on screen (online stopwatch). For generating quick picture-based vocabulary, teacher can use ChatGPT to create a word bank or Canva AI to generate six labelled images. |
