Self- reflection:
On the whole, the lesson was carried out well. Like Dr Zarina had mentioned, I found that pupils really enjoyed watching animated video compared to
singing songs during the set induction. Pupils simply loved watching The Lion King. Even the music video was a good choice. Pupils were very
interested in the song. Before the lesson, I wasnt sure if my pupils would enjoy the music video but it turned out to be a success. Although, a few
weak pupils found it difficult following the lyrics but they enjoyed singing along. I was also happy to see pupils discussing among themselves to
generate ideas for their riddles. Nevertheless, some of them were conversing in Malay. This was the only challenge I faced. However, I just corrected
the pupils rather than reprimanding them. This is because I wanted my pupils to participate actively during the group work.




I am the King of
the Jungle.
I have a mane.
I can roar loudly.
Who am I?
