Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
K i have very little time to do a post, so i'll make it short.
Today we had our third lesson with Little Wings for our RESL project. As usual, there are pros and cons to everything, and this lesson was no exception.
Before that...
I made some kewl observations about our class. (This regards Brent's and my class only) I think the drama that my class provides is more that what mediacorp has tried to churn out for many years. Today we witnessed a !@*!@)(!*@#load of drama that did defer us from our task. I'll save the small talk and not list out the many hilarious things that they did. But then again I myself was once a young kid, I'm very sure that I had done more foolish stuff when I was a kid... Like eating the hairs from a paintbrush lolol
So anyway what went well today was that we managed to remember all their names today, despite the fact that week in week out there are random absentees in the class... like syafiq for example, the cheeky kid from our class. This is attributed by the photos we took of them, that helped us remember their names with ease. Truthfully, Brent did a better job of it than me.
Next, we managed to establish a program for future lessons, but I am quite doubtful if it will work. We split the class into groups of two and let them do group work....
NOT
Of course it wouldn't work. Group work generated like 95% of the drama today. What we needed to do was to ensure that there are 15 items of each required item for each lesson (which I failed to do). If i learnt one thing today, it was that we shouldn't assume that Little Wings would 100% prepare what we requested. From the next lesson plan on, we need to bring 'emergency materials', which would surely be used. (technically I was assigned this job but I forgot but HEY everyone makes mistakes (clefable hurhurhur inside joke) forgive me plox)
We didn't lack preparation, we just wrongly assumed that Little Wings would have gotten everything ready for us. In order to avoid group work and allow every kid to create a wonderful art piece of their own and less importantly, have more stuff to show case during the art exhibition. (ew i just realised little wings is PAP endorsed... that means if we have art exhibition we will have white guys there? weird shit)
What went bad today, was our helplessness to react to the drama. When a kid goes into dao mode and ignores everything anyone says, WTPONG DO YOU DO
ahha, I don't know.
Bottom line: Learn how to deal with pesky arrogant kids, and learn how to appeal to kids who are more reserved, and also bring emergency materials and even bring video cameras to record the drama. Lol jk
I LIED ABOUT A SHORT POST! NOOOOOOOOOOOO
