2. Scene 1 Teacher Mr. Sam finds it confusing to make his students learn about the
different sounds made by animals. The school textbook has an activity
whereby there is a matching exercise on the sounds made by seven animals.

3. Scene 2 Mr. Sam decides to put all animals together on a PowerPoint as slideshow to
display on the desktop projector and a set of speakers, as an aid for the
students to recognize the animals as well as their corresponding sounds they
make.

4. Scene 3 Mr. Sam then closes the PowerPoint and starts a brainstorming activity about
the animals they have seen and ask them to imitate the sound they make as
shown through the projector and heard through the speakers.

5. Scene 4 Mr. Sam discovers that the children are led to confusion due to cognitive
overload and unable to recall the animals name as well as their sounds
corresponding to them.
