Teacher explains that the topic today is the

Students listens attentively to the teacher

explanation

Teacher places students into groups of two

and distributes the five Activity sheet 1
(grouped as 1-5) that must be completed. On
each activity sheet, each group is given two
generation programming languages. The
generation language slides, along with a note

to groups and the generation languages given
to them.
Each group is given two languages to study, to
discover information from the study and
answer the question given on the Activity
