Every book in my hands gets flipped through multiple times, as I ask myself, what kind of authentic learning can we get from this book? I am also often inspired to try different activities with the same books I had used in previous years.
Today we had a lot of fun using a story I had used with last year's 8-year-olds, but with a refreshed lesson concept. This year's learners read the story with me and in response, wrote a diary entry of the main character. I also suggested using one of the book illustrations as a base for the diary sketch. Thinking about how to phrase the diary entry got us discussing the use of adverbs and how the word 'finally' can be in different positions in a sentence. This got us doing a grammar point sketch - see the flexible Finally Character in the top right hand corner? Writing does not have to be a chore all the time. A simple start is better than none at all. Teacher Libing runs phonics workshops for parents and caregivers, as well as English Language lessons for children, teens and adult learners.

Such an engaging way to make learning fun and meaningful! I really like how you’re able to refresh the lesson concepts each year and adapt them to the needs of your students. This reminds me of how educational initiatives at places like <a href='https://jakarta.telkomuniversity.ac.id/en/studium-generale-diabetes-awareness-in-children-adolescents/'>Telkom University Jakarta</a> are also focused on creating impactful learning experiences. Keep up the great work!"
