yesterday while enjoying a muffin.
Development: [It may help to number your steps with corresponding times. Think about what your students are doing!]
2. Give out three rubric sheets to each group. Go through the rubric sheet with students. Tell students that they are
going to evaluate their peer groups on the rubric sheet after watching their performance. (Those sheets will be given
to the evaluated groups.) Also, group members will discuss and come with a praise (what they did is good) and a
suggestion (what they can improve on) for each of the other group.

Reflection:
Students quarreled with each other when one student gave advice to another student. I asked students what might be a
better way to give advice to a friend and to respond nicely. I also reminded them that we are a family and we want to
give advice out of love. While I was talking about this, I was praying in my heart for God’s help to change them. Thank
God! Both students sincerely apologized to each other. Suddenly, the whole class seems to have fallen into a loving pool.
Looking back, I know it is the work of God. He has given these students such soft hearts to be willing to admit their
wrongs, say sorry and repent, which sometimes is even hard for adults. Praise the Lord! And I’m so glad that I get to
work with the Holy Spirit in shaping these children.
