- Teacher asks the students to watch an AI-generated video designed to support the lesson and answer the questions that appear in the video.

- Teacher divides the class into 4 groups.

- Teacher explains the rules: I will show 3 pictures of different environmental problems on the screen. For each picture, your group has 15 seconds to brainstorm and raise your hand to shout out ONE quick action to fix it. The fastest group with a reasonable solution gets a point.

Step 2: Students perform learning tasks

- Students watch the AI-generated video and answer the questions about it. 

- Teacher projects the pictures one by one:

+ Picture 1: A street full of plastic trash.

+ Picture 2: People wearing masks in thick smog (Air pollution).

+ Picture 3: A badly cut-down forest (Deforestation).

- Teacher uses an interactive digital board to project a digital countdown timer (e.g., Timer,...) to manage the fast-paced activity.

- Students discuss quickly in their groups and race to raise their hands.

- The teacher observes, acts as a timekeeper, and facilitates the activity.

Step 3: Reporting and Discussion

- Teacher calls on the fastest group for each picture to share their solution loudly.

- Other groups can quickly add different, creative ideas if time allows.
