Greatest moment in my life!

Yesterday, I found my old bungy video that I posted on youtube. I could still remember every little detail of how thrilling and nerve-wrecking that experience was to me. It was the greatest and most exciting event in my life, I would never forget.

The best part of having this experience as a teacher is, you can share it with your students! This is what I did with my students yesterday.

Students level - Low-intermediate
Time               - 80 minutes
Topic              - Sports
Theme            - Extreme activity
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to
1) State 1 exciting event in their lives
2) Write 4 reasons why the event is exciting

Set induction - Show two videos of bungy jumping from youtube. One is 'Mat Salleh's' and the other one is mine. (The students will be impressed when you show your own video doing the extreme activity. It works on my students every time.)
                     

                         Mat Salleh's Bungy Video

             My Bungy Video

Lesson 1 - Brainstorming on extreme activities around the world. (Vocab - Paint-ball mission, Kayaking, Jungle-trekking, Camping, Hiking)  

- Choose one extreme activity the students have experienced. 

Lesson 2 - Write four reasons why they like the activity. 

- Assist troubled students with questioning methods 

- i.e Where do you do the activity? Who do you join the activity with? How much is the cost? When do you join the activity? 

Closure - Brainstorming on the benefits of joining the activities. 

My students asked so many questions about the video. They were excited to try bungy jumping as well. So, I took the opportunity to advise them on the importance of taking the school seriously and excel in their public exam. 

   

2015, here I come!

2015 starts with a beautiful twist- extra school break! Alhamdulillah. 

I shouldn't be so happy because the extra break is due to a tragic flood incident in east-coast peninsular. I pray that everyone affected by the flood is strong in facing it.

This year, I teach form 3, 4 and 5. A new project will soon be started. =) InsyaAllah. I have a new novel that I should teach this year. Around the world in 80 days. It is a very good read, I must say. 

However, the challenge is still there. I teach the third class for form 3, so it is very difficult to make them read the novel itself. It is quite thick for them, I reckon.

Pray for me, pray for us. Lets face the challenge in 2015 by reciting Bismillah..
