 To start a lesson and to reflect on the lesson
 Example

related to verbs and connectives can be framed to
assess the level of understanding of the whole class.

picture of verbs and connectives after the lesson.
Circle activity to reflect

Example
Asks students to form a circle , encourage them to say sentences about verbs and instructions. One child make two steps towards the
middle of the circle and says a sentence. Those who agree to the statement should come to the middle of the circle. Repeat the activity.
Expert’s circle
Students will be divided into expert group and given something to read. A chart paper should be given providing space for each member to write
their understanding of the topic after reading the given text. They share their ideas in the group. Later they will be grouped into another group
where experts from all other groups will be included. They share their knowledge by writing and explaining.
The expert group go back to their original group and consolidate their learning. This activity can be modified according to the needs of the topic.
