REFLECTION:
We have faced several hardships in doing this lesson plan. It is really a time-consuming effort for us as we have to juggle with our different class schedules to meet and discuss. The most challenging part is finding the suitable software for the proverb in English writing. We have spent much time searching for the right software because it determines the theme and the rest of the activities. Meanwhile, another difficulty is when we have to allocate appropriate time for every activity throughout the lesson. Despite those hindrances, we apparently managed to learn many things pertaining time management and topic or theme selection. We can learn many useful fables and use them in our daily conversation. We are also exposed to the importance of lesson plan in achieving the positive learning outcomes. Moreover, we hope that all students will positively show their enthusiasm in learning proverbs because this software application used can help them to better understanding as well as having fun in learning proverbs in writing.
