| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Meme discussion) |
T: "Good morning! Look at this picture on the board. [Shows a meme: A cartoon character looking confused at a recipe that says "Just add a pinch of salt" while holding a giant bag of salt]. Why is this funny? Why is this situation about us when we learn to cook or follow instructions in English?" Prompt: "Think about a time you misunderstood an instruction. What can go wrong if we don't understand verbs like 'add', 'mix', or 'chop' correctly?" Transition: "Today, we'll master the language of cooking to avoid such kitchen disasters. Our topic is 'Cooking Verbs'." |
Students observe the meme, smile/laugh. They share ideas: "The character doesn't know what 'a pinch' means," "It's about following rules precisely," "If you add too much salt, the food will be bad." They connect it to the importance of clear instructions. |

Projector/Interactive Whiteboard, Meme image (digital file). AI Tool: An image generator (e.g., DALL-E, Craiyon) used beforehand to create a custom, culturally relevant meme about cooking confusion. This visual hook immediately engages students and personalizes the lesson context. |
