Student-facing instructions
You will participate in an interactive activity where you'll take on different roles—either as a provider or consumer. You'll use your phonics skills to read 'Environmental Sign' posters around the room and engage in transactions focusing on goods and services. Your goal is to understand how they each function in a community and visualize it through a collaborative mural. Collectively, these efforts will help you explore new concepts actively and fun.
