then in the summative assessment students had a 3 different assessment sheet for the 3 levels in the class which is
asked from them to label each name of the home with the picture that describe it. learners we actively engaged

Analyze (A):
In the engaging part students were in the carpet listening to the teacher telling a story about 7 different kids from 7
different countries and homes, in this activity teacher was telling the story saying the child country with providing the
picture of his home and asking students to guess the name of his home based on their prior knowledge. Students were
actively engaged in this part of the lesson as it was a enjoyable from them to hear the story, use their thinking and it
also helps to build their process skills. The story telling in science is the most powerful way to activate learners' brain
about the concept learned, and enhance the student's skills and cognitive thinking (Widrich, 2018) Teaching this
lesson was very well, it was relating to student's prior knowledge and foster their learned information about homes
