What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
Zadok led the class through a lesson on the Vaux’s Swifts. We started with the alphabet identification activity, the spelling and repeating of the class members’ names. Students were then instructed to write down the title of the lesson. Then Zadok handed out a informational sheet on the Vaux’s Swifts and students were given phrases to identify. Each of the assistants and the DJ contributed to the activity. After this activity we watched a video on the birds, after which Zadok instructed the students to write down information regarding the video. The last activity was Q&A. This was particularly effective as students provided alternative answers, all of which were written down.
