Reflection:
Trying out this lesson plan is exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time because it
is my first time to make this and to present it in class. My opener needs more
furnishing because I have tried it in class before and though I think it went well, I want
to do better.
I have cleared and explained some sections now to be more specific on what I want to
do and relay.
