I wanted to start the year on a right note, and was cracking my brains to find things to teach and do so that the kids in school would be in the right frame of mind to learn. How to excite them? How to get them to enjoy lessons...and not say, "Oh no...not the boring stuff again."
If you want something the teens will find interesting, you have to think like a teen. In today's high-tech age, language has taken a back seat. Instead of being the best form of communication, words have been relegated to images and visuals.
Anyway, through a series of letters, I tried to coax the kids into believing that the dictionary is indeed an exciting tool that would broaden language skills. And introducing them to the varied idiomatic expressions hopefully, will encourage them to colour their writing. Of course, for 4E1...how to handle texts with 'finesse', and 4E4...to temper the tone with dry wit.
And of course, I hope that the kids will realise how beautiful letter writing can me...a simple love letter. With the right words, carefully thought phrases, and heartfelt emotions, you will melt any young girl's heart.
So how boys? Ready to learn how to woo? (hahahaha)
