Personal opinion
One of the activities that called our attention the most is the activity N 3 , the teacher uses a lot of illustrations to show the students how the weather has been changing.. This isn't a topic easy to explain so illustrations facilitate the explanation in addition we think that this activity is also very important because they students can be aware
of the damage that we have been causing to our environment. This activity is designed for students of advanced levels because to understand this topic the students are required a high level thinking skills. Even though the activity is a teacher-centered activity . This activity is divergent because they students can have their own opinions about the topic taught by the teacher.
