To start the lesson, the teacher can show the pupils a brief video or image of a common security scenario, like a school with security guards at the entrance, a home with an alarm system, or a community with visible security cameras. After showing the visual, ask pupils the following questions:
- What do you see in the image/video?
- Why do you think these security measures are important?
- How do these security measures protect people and property?
This activity will spark curiosity and introduce the concept of security management, leading to an engaging discussion on the importance of managing security.
