Summary
Through collaborative and individual tasks, students enhance their ability to navigate challenges in professional and academic settings, gaining tools to approach problem-solving methodically.
Activities
Students begin by discussing problem-solving steps and strategies, sharing past experiences of solutions that didn’t meet expectations and the lessons learned.
They watch a video on evaluating solutions and answer comprehension questions to reinforce decision-making principles.
Vocabulary exercises involve completing sentences and categorizing expressions like “identifying the problem” and “explaining the impact.”
Grammar tasks focus on using verbs like “evaluate,” “propose,” and “redistribute” in context to describe problem-solving processes.
