REFLECTION INTEL

Reflection

At the beginning of the lesson we were quite confused on this task. We were given explanation on what to do so now we are able to prepare our unit plan template but we are worried that what we’ve done is correct or not. We have completed our unit plan tamplate but in the process of doing the power point slides, we were informed that we should prepare 2 different slides which is one for students and another one for teachers. We are not sure about this, hope will get further assistance to proceed.

Thank you…
