Introduction

 Motivation
o Let the students observe the following pictures and ask the following question:
 Which of the photos are more attractive than the other? Why?

 After getting answers from the students, explain the following:

o With the given pictures, it is more attractive or engaging if there are colors. Just
like reading a story, if the reader can create mental image because of the words
they read on a selection, comprehension is more likely to occur. Pictures will not be
boring and too demanding, as well as reading a literary text.
