learning activity is any task that students do as part of their school-related work. It can be an
exercise that students complete in one class period, or an extended project that takes place both in
and outside of school.

based on my topic thou if I did it could have
broadened the learners understanding of the
specified topic.

them.

opportunity to relate the topic to a real-world
problem that they could have come across.

allowed the learners to make use of various
innovative communication tools which would
have made the topic more effective in terms of
