Scholars develop social awareness by exploring the concept of similarities and differences. Learners examine two beverages and use a Venn diagram to identify similarities and differences. They tally each item to identify if they are more alike or different. Pupils play a game to showcase their opinion towards a variety of items. A song sung to "Old McDonald" closes the lesson.
