| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a deliberate mistake) |
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Today we start a journey into the ancient past of Kazakhstan. I want to tell you a short story. Imagine you are hiking in the mountains near Almaty. The sun is shining, and you come across a huge, open-air gallery. On the dark rocks, you see thousands of colorful paintings made with bright red and blue dyes. They show sun-headed deities, dancing people, and animals like bulls and horses. These are the famous Tamgaly petroglyphs, which are only about 200 years old. They are a very new part of our history."
(Pause for 10 seconds) "Now, I need your sharp minds. I told you a story, but I included one fact that is not true. Who can spot my mistake? Discuss with your partner for 1 minute." After discussion: "Who would like to share? Yes, Aruzhan?" Teacher confirms: "Exactly! The mistake was about the colors and the age. The petroglyphs are not painted with bright dyes; they are carvings or engravings on the rock. And they are not 200 years old; they are thousands of years old, from the Bronze Age! This is our real treasure. Today we will learn the true story of Tamgaly." |
- Listen attentively to the teacher's story.
- In pairs, discuss the story to identify the incorrect fact(s). - Volunteer to share their findings with the class (e.g., "The petroglyphs are carvings, not paintings with bright colors," and "They are ancient, not 200 years old."). |
