| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement ("What if...?") |
T: "Good morning! Today's topic is 'Getting more information'. Let's start with a 'What if...?' question. What if all airplanes disappeared tomorrow? How would global travel change? Think for 30 seconds, then share your ideas with your partner." T monitors, then asks 2-3 pairs to share. "Interesting ideas! This connects to our goal: understanding implied meaning and giving opinions on travel topics." | Students think individually, then discuss in pairs. Possible responses: "People would use more ships and trains." / "Business would slow down." / "Maybe we'd invent teleportation!" They listen to peers. | Provide a visual prompt (picture of a world map with transport icons crossed out). Pre-teach key vocabulary (disappear, global, transport). Allow thinking time and sentence starters: "If airplanes disappeared, we would have to..." | Descriptors (no points): • Shows curiosity by engaging with the hypothetical scenario. • Asks a follow-up question to a peer. • Puts forward a relevant idea or suggestion. |
Whiteboard, markers, visual prompt (projected image). | AI Tool: ChatGPT/Bard Used before the lesson to generate a list of engaging "What if..." scenarios related to transport to choose the most provocative one. Helps in sparking immediate curiosity. |
