| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Provocative question with voting) |
Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a quick vote. Show me thumbs up for YES, thumbs down for NO. Ready? Question: Is the story more important than the special effects in a film?" (Waits for responses). "Interesting! Now, a second one: Should film reviews always be completely objective, or is a personal opinion valid?" (Waits). "Thank you. Let's hear a couple of quick thoughts. [Student Name], why did you vote yes for the first question?" (Listens, then summarizes). "Great points. These questions touch on how we talk and write about films. Today, we will focus on the quality of our writing about films—specifically, spelling key words correctly and using punctuation to make our opinions clear and professional." | Students vote non-verbally on the questions. Selected students provide brief verbal justifications for their votes (e.g., "I think story is key because effects get old," or "A review needs personal opinion to be interesting."). All students listen and engage with the topic introduction. |
