Reflection
The lesson was challenging at first because the learners were taking time to settle down.
This has cost me time in my lesson. The learners also were struggling with the
introduction to the lesson such as the spelling test, they were struggling to write the words
that I was giving them. This also costed me time and disruption in the classroom. Learners
were confused by the terms I was giving them, I think it was because some of the words
were bombastic words as I wanted to open their minds and allow them to question their
thinking.
