stating what they will learn today like in the following excerpts: -
“Today we are not talking about animal but today we will talk about the animals which are insects.”
- “Now, we are going to talk about insects Like this…T hold
toys of insects”
Those excerpts are the teachers’ statements in giving facts. In the presentation section, the teacher used statement giving facts information to
state about the topic in the lesson discussion. In addition, the topic was about “the insect” so that all of the teacher’s explanation based on the factual
knowledge or information, for examples like in the following excerpts: -
“Dragon fly is also an insect you know” -
“Because the dragonfly has wings” -
“The bee cannot suck the blood, only mosquito will do that” For clearer explanations about the insects, the teacher used toys of
insects the miniature of insects -
“And there is wings but cannot open, close, and this is its body The teacher held the toy of a bee.”
- “And this is the antenna T held the toy and touch its antenna”

demanding factual information or opinion information but there isn’t any teacher’s question in demanding good-and services. The teacher asked
students to get the factual information because those questions like in the following excerpts need factual answers.
- “So…. What day is it today everybody?”
- “Tuesday starts with the letter?”
