Although there is still some structure in the lesson, pupils are still able to develop their personality through movement – captain’s ball game. In addition, teacher only does a recap with pupils. Therefore, it is pupils are allowed to inject freedom of expression (meaning their feelings and emotions during their experience) in their individual recount.
