Just got back from school and i'm feeling extremely happy. My junior science class was very co-operative although they were kinda quiet in the initial parts of the lesson. Who could blame them? It was the first period. Had them run around the class and boy, did they wake up.
Off to senior science class next where i observe another friend. His class was simply adorable. He taught the students a game where they have to act the reserve actions of the instructions. He got them to sit (stand) and stand (sit).
Next my own Year 12 ESOL students. Being expose to the requirements of writing a movie review, i bet they are so sick of it already. So, instead of comparing and looking back at the features and the structure of a movie review (again), i've decide that we'll just look for vocabulary, facts or qoutations that they can use for their own writing. Only 6 of them were in the class but hey, it was much more easier to control that way. The best reward of the day today was when i read each of their introduction and first paragraph. Not only did they write better, but they "borrowed" some interesting vocabulary and qoutation like i said. And, that makes me happy!!
ps: thanks to those who helped during the lesson as well as for the feedback. will try to improve
