But always remember that whatever that you want to bring into the classroom has to be of interest to the students esp when you're just starting to teach and getting their attention. I looove the pics you used. Very well strategized Kudos to you and Yings. Another thing that interests me is this notion of complicated issues for high level students only. Do you mean, high in proficiency or in maturity? If you mean, maturity, I would agree but if you're saying that thise issues are for high level prof students only, maybe you should rethink about it. Some students of weak prof may not have the language but they may have the maturity and interest to discuss aih? So, think about it yah?

This is because death is something that is considered something sensitive and "taboo". He replied my question by saying something like if we don't teach them, we are being ignorant. Death is something that all of us have to face sooner or later. It would be excellent if we can teach them about death and how to face death. In another word, teach them not just about the subject but how to deal with matters that they will face in life. That would be a great lesson for the students.. By hiding sensitive issues from our students will not keep them away from the cruelty of man. I always believe we need to show it to them. Teach them how to think, not what to think... :)<BR/>So, I like the idea of yours, relating a poem by Thomas Hardy with something that the students can see around them. It makes them aware about the situation and also making the poem real, in a way. Goo d lesson darling... :)i TeAcH...https://www.blogger.com/profile/17034300189490393013noreply@blogger.com
