Question and answer session

Reflection:
As we do not have enough experience in teaching area, we have problems in choosing the best activities to be done within the given time and also to divide the time accordingly with the activities. Thus we solved the problem by searching the information regarding this subject from the Web.
Based upon this assignment and from other's presentation, we learn the best way to tackle student's interest in learning, what activities is appropriate and good to be held during limited time and what is not.
