I think you're attaching duplicate files for the materials to the Form 2 LP

sky pirate said...

The opening paragraphs' file cannot be found for the Form 5 LP

Are you using a designated template for your LP? I would love to have one as the one you're using is really comprehensive. My school wants me to do something like yours for this yr's LP however, those examples I found online mostly are in Malay and not suitable for English

Rahmah, would you mind sharing with us how to write a proper reflection? Mine is always brief, with my strengths and weaknesses as well as those of my students. How to make it a comprehensive one?

Rahmah said...

thanks for the alert. i've corrected it :)

Rahmah said...

it depends on your school really. as long as u have the important component there it should be fine

Rahmah said...

hi, long time no see :) mine can be brief or longer than brief depending on the lesson and time of course :) write on wether you achieved your objectives. if so why and if not why. also touch on 'teachable moments' in the lesson...did a weak ss do something you didn't expect him or her able to do, the materials you used (level, accessibility etc.), things that annoy you haha ( I do) . In sha Allah will share later because record book is in school. take care :)
