Assessment

Make sure that children are able to recognize the features of play-script.
Make sure that children can identify where are used in play-script and what is an adverb.

Reflection:
What went well, is that the children were interactive, they answer any question I ask, and I used house points reward
system for the management. Children were able to identify the play-script and its feature. Also, they know what is an
adverb and what is it for.
It would be better if I gave clear instruction. So, next time I will give the instruction a little bit in detail, so they would
carry on with the activity without being confused and I will let children repeat the instruction so I know if they really
understood the task or not.
What did the children learn? How do I know this?
The children learned about the play-script and its feature, they learned the adverbs words and what is the se od them.
I knew it when, they gave a lot of adverbs, and they were able to act out the script and the actions through the adverb
that described the speech.
