Sts will try to encrypt the message and their answer will be written on the WB which should be "Hidden Messages" which will set the context. they will also try and come up with 3 reasons for sending a secret message and 3 different ways of sending that message.

Exposure (6-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

The sts will read the text given about codes and they will try to find the main difference between "steganography" and "cryptology". they will pair up and compare their answers with their partner.
