Now, let us have a short activity before we begin to our new
lesson. This game is called “Is it a Fact or Bluff”.
All you need to do is to answer each statement if it is a Fact
or a Bluff by writing it on the piece of `paper provided.
But before that, I will divide you in 5 groups.
5. And before you go to your group mates, each
group must have their respective leaders and
secretaries.
(The teacher will distribute to each group a piece of
paper after the groupings.)
So here’s the catch, every statement contains 2
points each. Your groups’ score will be added to
your performance.
