Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Teacher writes and lets students see the answer on the board, perhaps a picture of object on the board. The students must come up with questions in which the answer could be the object on the board.
Teacher introduces the lesson to learners. Students are to list all the words they associate with the topic to be treated.
