Come into Their world! :)

A day before, I prepared my teaching material for today, Monday 16th January 2012.
Learned from some text books and searched some info in the internet.
Beside looked for teaching material, I also looked for some fun games and funny stories.

Learning, games and funny stories is a unity in the class for elementary school students, even for adult.

I taught Bahasa Indonesia for an hour. I started the lesson by giving them some fingers games. To train their concentration and also to boost their mood to learn. It a bit helped me, even one of them already knew the games.

I read one story for them, the title is "Tukang Sepatu dan Liliput".
after listening carefully the story, I asked them to do their job, that was find the intrinsic element of the story.
Such as theme, figure, character, background, storyline and the message.
All of them did it well. Actually in the last semester, they have learned about this topic, so it wasn't hard for them to find all of the intrinsic element for one story.
One thing that funny about them is they tend to like a horror (murder, ghost story) or sad story then happy story. hhe
But I didn't give them that story, i'm afraid it could give them some negative impacts, such as become coward and maudlin.

At the end of lesson, I give them a short funny story, they were laughing, and I love to see them laughing. :D

And along the day in the class, feel so much better than yesterday.

So, the conclusion for today is, come into their world, and "play" with them, then we'll gonna have a fun class! :)
