Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
Verbs that indicate action will be introduced to the class and repeated a couple of times with
illustrations.
Students will be given two sided cards and make small groups and discuss.

problem with reaching technology for research, students will be given handouts about different
scientific achivements to read and write about.
