A. Preparatory Activities
1. Review Show a Venn diagram. Let students compare and contrast inquiry and

       What relates or connects these two ideas?
2. Motivation Ask:
       Do you listen, watch or read news? What do you think are
 the issues in our community today?

B. Developmental Activities

1. Activity Group Activity: Group the class into 5 groups. Each group will be given an
editorial cartoon in which they must interpret together. Each group will
choose a reporter to share their insights in class.
Ask:
       How can these issues affect you as a student? your community?  the society
as a whole?
Explain to the class that issues like in the pictures affect individuals and the
society as a whole. People need answers to describe these phenomena, their
implications in daily living and how can these be controlled or given
solutions. Relate that the way to address these is though research.

research.
