Prediction method

Greet the students and divide them into two groups: protagonists and antagonists. Show the photo of Kyz Zhibek and Tolegen and ask predictive questions: - "What do you see in this picture?" - "What kind of relationship do you think these characters have?" - "What does the traditional clothing suggest about the story?" - "This story is compared to Romeo and Juliet. What does that imply?" "Do you think this story will have a happy or sad ending? Why?"

Students greet the teacher, choose cards with adjectives, and divide into groups. Answer predictive questions.
