On this page, you can the third task. Which is about (Active Learning Environments )
This is the first task which is about Active Learning Environments I collect this information to support my future ideas
Which activity engaged most students? Why do you think this happened?
The most activity that children liked was the sea, and the animals living in it. All the students participated and created a collage art activity. And the teacher gave them more information about the animals in the sea and each child drew his or her favorite animals.
