  Reflection on Lesson on Charity   charity_what to give and environment_ - Google Slides My second lesson was to cheat Charity to Grade 4 students. It was a 45 minutes session that started at 8:30 am.

The passage was basically talking about the disadvantages of fast foods and the damage they cause to the body, as compared with healthy food, with the aim to sensitize people about adopting a healthy lifestyle. To prepare for the lesson, especially the pre-teaching part, I did some research to get some names and pictures of Polish fast food and nutritious food, because I needed to show something that the students would easily recognize, and I check confirmation from my Mentor who said they knew all that I chose. I w...

The teacher asked the students to write instructions on how to use a device, and the activity was to g...
