She asked students to draw a
food chain individually. She
also asked them to write the
name of the animals.
The students
created a food
chain.
She asked some students to
present their food chain.
The students
described their own
food chain.
She told them tomorrow we
will do an activity so we
need clay and plastic
animals. She said goodbye.
The students said
ok and goodbye.
After she finished the lesson my MST and I collected students work and started marked. While
we marking we found that some students still confuse and they have problems with creating a
food chain. Therefore my MST and I decided to reteach the food chain lesson.
