RE8LECTION The start of the lesson did not start well as a number of students came in late and 4 decided to re2hash what we had done due to the importance of laying the foundation of this unit of work. 4t also became clear that many students didn=t bring their cameras so we couldn=t do the practical exercise outside. 4 then decided to take a lot longer with the practical demonstration which worked really well. The students were engaged and answering lots of :uestions. #ext time 4 will make sure 4 remind all students the day before to bring their cameras.
