Sometimes I feel that it
can become difficult to

from the given topic of
focus according to the
curriculum at our school,
,but I like to look for
different resources that
can support real life

Evidence they can relate to them.
Sometimes I find it a little
difficult to extend certain
topics to apply them to
real life contexts but I’ve
realized that students
easily make connections
between the topic and
their life. The key is to
involve students in
conversations. 7/21/19
