English Slot: If You don't Use It, You Lose It, Form 4 Orientation

Date: 7th Feb 2012 (Tuesday)
Time: 8.00-10.30 a.m

Venue: Khalifah Hall, SASEM

A beautiful morning greeted students and teachers in Sasem today. Despite it being a public holiday, all English teachers, Rozila, Syamsul, Azhar and I conducted a two-and-half hour session with all Form 4 students in Khalifah Hall. For starters, I did a session called "Mingle" to break the ice with the accompaniment of 'Moves like Jagger' on the blaring CD. Although the group consisted of 156 students, they carried out the activity wonderfully using English to greet their friends. The second session, 'My Story', was handled by Rozila and Azhar and students had to opportunity to show their creativity with newspapers. Finally, Saymsul handled the 'Vocabulary Balloons' session for the last half hour. I did a brief summation of the whole morning's event and hope that students have benefited from it. Thanks to all teachers and students for their commitment, not forgetting my video man, Rasyad (son) for capturing the moment. Way to go English panel :)
