Reflection:

Although it was the end of the day and students were tired, I'm glad I could keep them
engaged in the discussion, and students were focused and listening well. I showed them a
video about the butterfly life cycle and paused it to ask questions also asked questions at the
end of the video. What didn't go well was switching the activities after the time finished, I
should have let the ones who finish their activity choose a different one as some finished the
activity quickly because it doesn't take much time.
