           This method entails presenting learners with actual events or scenarios
           that they may face in real life, and then lead them through analysis,
           problem-solving, and decision-making processes within those scenarios.
           You may observe the following steps when using the scenario method:
           i.    Start by identifying the knowledge, abilities and attitudes you
                 want learners to gain through scenario-based learning.
                 Brainstorm and select an appropriate and relevant scenario for
                 the learning objectives and realistic enough to engage students.
