B. MOTIVATION

I know that you are all excited right now. But before we
leave, let’s help each other in choosing which beach is the
best place to go for a vacation. Is it okay for you, class?

If that’s okay with you all, I'll divide you into two groups. Yes, ma’am.
We will do an activity called “DESCRIBE ME” so that
we can easily decide where we are going.

I was scrolling through my Facebook wall earlier and I

saw these two beautiful beaches that we can try to visit.
Since we've already tackled a Venn Diagram. I want you
to spot the similarities and differences between the two
beach resorts using a Venn diagram to determine which
one is better to go on vacation. Is that clear?

Okay, I'll be giving you 3 minutes to spot their similarities

and differences.
Yes ma’am.
