This scenario invites students to: ✔️ Analyze needs and priorities ✔️ Use persuasive language to justify their choice ✔️ Practice teamwork, speaking, and writing in English ✔️ Apply language in a real-world context
📝 Perfect for project-based learning, this task also supports social-emotional skills like empathy, compromise, and responsibility.
