Part 1
I feel well. My week has been wonderful. I have been indoors in my bedroom, the space I love the most. Otherwise, I have been going through the resources of this module, trying to familiarize myself with the content and the site.

What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities?
The Zulu song, which was taught focusing on pronunciation without explaining.
Free dancing, boys and girls dancing In front of one another.
Why were some learners uncomfortable?
One boy learner felt uncomfortable with the Zulu song, which he did not understand.
A girl felt uncomfortable dancing in front of boys and to house music due to religious reasons.
Can you think of ways to address these issues in future? What will you change?
Ways to address these issues are, to learn and understand learners, acknowledge their differences, and involve them when choosing certain activities in music. What I will change is the Zulu song to one that learners will be able to understand.
How can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? What must we beware of?
To accommodate diverse learners, we should engage learners in activities that accommodates their differences and beliefs. We should use teaching and learning methods that engages all diverse learners into one classroom with positivity. Lastly, we should take time to know learners so that we can accommodate all of them.
