1.5 Presentation of Incentive Chart

Water bottle Incentive chart
"I have an incentive chart here, which we’ll call the Water Bottle
Incentive Chart. The group that actively participates and behaves
well during our discussion will have the opportunity to fill up the
 water bottle first. The group that fills it up the fastest will be the
winner for today’s discussion."
2. Motivation

"Imagine a world where plants can’t grow, animals can’t drink, and
the earth’s beautiful landscapes start to dry up away. It might sound
like a distant, scary possibility, but it could become a reality if we
don't recognize how crucial water is for all living things. Every plant
you see, every animal you care about, relies on water to survive.
