An interesting topic. But if this LP with such a topic were to be executed in an actual classroom please make sure it does not go against the students' religious beliefs.
ReplyDeleteinteresting and it's unique..something that people need to learn and explore..=)
ReplyDeletethe students would definitely love this lesson because we like to see our future, whether we would be a success or be a failure. if i were a student, i would utterly enjoy this lesson.it also could boost up the confidence in students' own self once they know what the future holds for them :P
ReplyDeleteInteresting LP.However, be careful and remind them that they should not 100% believe the palm reading.But overall it will a fun activity and the students will definately like it.
