The lesson was very good, I was able to manage my time and cover up all the activities. What i really liked
about the lesson is the engaging part and the elaborate part, the engage part was a story which is “the very
hungry caterpillar” and i was discussing the story with the students while watching it. And the elaborate
activity was about ordering the butterfly life cycle and then explaining how does the butterfly grows.

Areas of development.

The things that needs to be developed is the explore activity in like after doing the research i might give the
students something else to do, such as a mind map about the butterfly life cycle or a drawing that represents
the life cycle instead of only doing a research then discuss about it.
