March is Women’s History Month in the USA and in most countries around the world 8 March is Women’s Day. In this spirit we started reading about Malala Yousafzai. I have both English and Chinese copies of the book Malala’s Magic Pencil. First we talk about where is she from, find Pakistan on a map, ask around the class who knows what about her. Then we start reading the books page by page. The HLS reading out aloud the English, I ask them if they understand what is going on. Then the LLS read the Chinese version of the same page. In all the classes (except gr 9) that is what we did this week.
Gr 901 we wrapped up the Sounds of Silence lesson.
Gr 902 I did not see them because they wrote their midterm exams on Friday.
The Giving Tree (TGT) Lesson 1:
Sitting outside under a tree we read the TGT and completed a work sheet. We did not finish the worksheet as there was a lot of discussions about being selfish and selfless.
The Giving Tree (TGT) Lesson 2. Watched a short video / animation of TGT. Completed worksheet 2. Spoke about things students raised:
Did the tree get what she deserved because she gave without boundaries; why was he called boy even as an old man; important things to say to the people we love: thank you, I’m sorry, I love you, spend time with them – just keep them company.
