Reflection no.5:

With regards to the  previous class, in today's class I got clear understanding of  scaffolding. Scaffolding means asking the questions in the simplified way instead of telling the answer. e.g: if we want the student to know about the adjective, we won't directly say that adjective is a describing word (she(noun) is beautiful (adjective)) instead we would ask them what is their understanding of adjective based on their previous/past knowledge and then set some examples and non-examples of adjective, prompt the students to identify the patterns in the examples. After they are familiar with the examples and non-examples we can let the students to define the adjective.
