tak kenal macam mana nak cerita~haha...
and that was my mistake when I first entered my class...
I was too concerned about the introduction part..
I didn't want to do the "typical" introduction session
asking ASL etc...
afraid that the students would take advantage
I went teaching straight away...continuing their previous lesson...
In my class...I always opt for group activity and presentation..
as I wanted them to speak more..in English...
it's the time for them to practice and use English...
and so...I noticed a few of them who love to do the presentation,
who are excited or not with the lesson...try to translate Malay words into English whenever I walk near them...and who refused to take part...
and there's a boy...
whom I noticed seems to be not bother at all...and I kept on reminding him to help his friends with their presentation...
dijadikan cerita..
before this..
teacher teramat pening kepala menanda summary anak2 murid...
ada yang tak faham article..
ada yang tak faham apa itu summary...
and only a few yang betul2 kenal apa itu summary..
so..
I bought a file for each one of them...
a JOURNAL file...
supposed...I wanted to buy a log book..tapi tak ada dekat Carefour Mid Valley..
and so it became JOURNAL file..
I asked them to write anything...about their feelings...their days..experiences..books or movie reviews...anything...as long as they write something...
and I gave them a piece of blank paper..
for them to sketch or write anything that represent themselves
basically...
I want them to write...to practice writing...in order to improve their writing skills..
the more you write...the better you will be...tak gitu? :D
so I asked them to write over the weekend and submit their journal file to me on Monday...
when I read their journals...
i learn more about my students...
the reasons behind their attitudes..
and that boy...
the boy that I thought who seemed not to bother at all...
he's actually emotionally unstable...
I guess maybe during that time..
he was frustrated about something..i don't know
maybe...
maybe...
they wrote about their days...
the sports carnival..that happened few days ago...
some won and some loss..
mostly about their lives...
and from that I can conclude that..
these kids...
they just want or need someone to listen...
listen to their stories...
listen to their needs...
that would be enough for them...
the thing is...we..human...we forget things easily...
we once a child like them..
and we do have that desires...once..
the desire for the adults to hear our voice..
but...as the time we grow older...we forget...
kita rasa...kids have to listen to us...not the other way round...
we forgot that..they've suffered enough..
to please others (families, teachers and schools)
by sacrificing their needs..their childhood...adolescence...their time..to play around...mingle..discover..
there's always a reason why people become who they are...
and so my students...
dan mereka perlukan kata2 semangat..
kata2 nasihat...
showing that people care about them...
after all hard work that they've done..
Kids....
Your Journal is not just a Journal..
you may think that it's just another essay that you have to complete as homework..
no...
I would like you to treat your Journal as part of your life..
no pressure...
since I give you the authority to decide on what you want to write...
Homework tu lain cerita lah :D
But through Journal...I hope you could improve your writing skills..
you may not realize it now..but sooner or later...
you will...
and kids...
please keep on writing..
I would love to read your stories...
in fact..I'm more excited to read your journal than your summary~~~ :D
teacher akan lakukan yang termampu untuk membantu anak2 murid teacher jadi pandai BI :D
remember..
don't be afraid of making mistakes..you'll learn from them...
and I'm no perfect person..I'm still learning...and most of the time kids..I learn from you~
ouch...
I guess I'm going to miss you guys...
