Reflection

The students enjoyed the class , by the end of the class the learners were able to create new
movements for the rhyme , They were very enthusiastic for the drama. They succeeded in
recognizing and repeating the rhyming lines fluently with flow.

What went well?

The class was interactive the students enjoyed the movement while singing the song as well as the
drama time. They are very excited for the “Show &Tell” activity next Reading class.

What went wrong?

Decrease the Teacher talk time and use songs during the transition time from activity to another
activity to enhance the language fluency.

What I should add?

Integrate technology more interactive games on the panel. Next class I will integrate the story with
the science class, unit 6 “Farm animals & products” .
