Idea — The lead-in connects learners’ lives to the text before it appears. It activates schema, builds interest, and previews vocabulary through discussion.
Example — ‘Have you ever moved to a new city? What was the hardest part?’ — before a text about relocation.
Try — Write a two-question lead-in for a text you already use. Make both questions personal and answerable from experience.
