| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Meme analysis) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with this image. (Displays meme: A polar bear on a tiny piece of ice, holding a sign saying 'I didn't vote for this.') Look at it for a moment. Why is this funny? And more importantly, why is this about us, here, today?" Possible prompts: "Who is 'us'? What is the 'this' the polar bear is talking about? What is the connection between our daily lives and this image?" |
Students observe the meme. They think-pair-share their ideas. Possible responses: "It's about global warming." / "The ice is melting because of human actions." / "We are responsible even if we didn't directly cause it." / "It shows a consequence we don't personally feel yet." | Oral formative assessment: Teacher listens for connections made between the image, climate change, and human responsibility. |
