The discussion continues with participation of children. The teacher encourages each
child to express their ideas. When the teacher take each childs opinion about life cycle
and when they talk about cycle enough, they pass the drama activity. For that activity,
teacher shows some pictures to children. In the pictures, there are little baby in mother
womb, new born baby, little baby, child, teenager, adult and old person photographs.
Teacher shows the pictures and talk about them with children in a sequence. After
