| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Mind Map & Discussion) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Today's topic is 'My Favourite Films'. Let's activate our vocabulary. You have 60 seconds. In your notebooks, create a mind map. Write 'FILMS' in the centre and draw branches for any words you associate with films: genres, feelings, people, places. Ready? Go!" (Times 60 seconds). "Time's up. Look at your map. Now, choose the three most interesting words from your map. I will ask some of you to share one word and explain your choice. For example: 'I wrote 'thriller' because I like the suspense.' Who would like to start?" |
Students quickly create a personal mind map, writing down associated words (e.g., comedy, actor, exciting, cinema, soundtrack, director, plot). They select three words and are prepared to share and justify one if called upon. | Descriptors:
