Reflection: The discussions we had in class were interesting to students and most of them showed a lot of enthusiasm and
motivation to contribute to the discussion. This was achieved by making the objective of the lesson very clear and allowing the
students to give out their views on the discussion. This proved to me that allowing students room to participate in class
promotes their participation and engagement.

Sometimes it can be hard to manage a class during discussions and discussions can easily go off track in case a teacher
allows the students to discuss without constantly bringing them back on track or if the instructions are not specific enough
