Task S6/6

Documenting a typical primary school science lesson

For this task, I collect a general idea of how a Science teacher applies a lesson in her class.
The lesson is not unusual or interesting because of it is not included something creative, she
used PowerPoint, website, an experiment that they mentioned in the books and a quiz. She
didnt use a creative idea or activity that can break the routine and give a thing that can let the
students being attracted for the whole lesson. They have attracted but not in all stages. And
they were focusing during the lesson and end the lesson with understanding most of the
concepts and the lesson points, but, with creativity, they will never forget this lesson. For
example, if she used puppets in the engagement stage, she will start the lesson with a creative
idea, and she will introduce the lesson in something very attractive.
