ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions: worksheet
Work on page 111 and complete task 1 and 2 in pairs.

EVALUATE: mark them

Formative Monitoring (Questioning / Discussion):

Reflection:
At the end of the class my students will be able to identify the reproduction process of the plant. They have learnt the
process of reproduction and now they are able to not only define it but they are able to act the reproduction process of
the plant. I used some activities that motivated my students to learning. I gave them some seeds and they had to
explore the main parts of the seeds that are involved in the reproducing process and how they are involved.

Reflection on the lesson plan

The lesson went very good. I achieved my objectives at the end of the lesson. The students were interacting with me. I
was able to manage their behavior. My teacher complimented on my management strategies. She said she loved the
strategies I was using. For example, telling the students to put their pens down, fold their hand and the have their eyes
on me.
