Teacher says: “Look at this short news clip (15 sec): ‘In 2022, scientists proved a key part of Einstein’s theory – again.’ Why do you think people still test his ideas? In pairs, predict – was Einstein always famous? Write one guess on a sticky note.” Show a photo of Einstein with a funny quote: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Ask: “What does this tell you about him?” Collect predictions on board. AI tool: use ChatGPT to generate a short ‘Einstein in pop culture’ example (e.g., meme, movie), display via projector. |
