Teachers reflection Demonstration activity aided with sound effect has attracted pupils attraction successfully. I can Advantages see that pupils like to study and learn through activities. A big difference is obviously seen when I use activities than textbook to teach the pupils. Pupils involved actively in the lesson today.

Disadvantages

Some pupils are slower than their friends when doing the exercise in textbook. They need more time than the others to do their work.

Suggestions Improvements

for

Pupils who are slower learner can be mixed with the other pupils by dividing them into groups. The slow learners can be helped by their friends when doing works next time. Group activity can not only help the slow learner to learn easier, it can also enhance the relationship between the pupils.
