    Building Vocabulary

    This is very true. I know all the basics of the English language but I get confused with the more advanced words. It's like, I know the meaning of this word, but I cannot seem to formulate the words to define it. And maybe it's because I lack the vocabulary to define that word. And it's quite...

    All Ages Have you ever been injured in a PE class?

    Thankfully, I've never experienced any injury during all my PE classes. I must admit that I'm not the most athletic person out there. In fact, I don't have any specific sport that I can be proud of. But I did tried my best in every PE class I had in elementary, high school and college as well. I...

    A lonely bird?

    I love the photograph. I'm not sure if the bird is truly lonely, but I feel like it's thinking about something. There's that far away look on its eyes. Or maybe it's just thinking about it's next meal? Lol. What truly stands out for me in this picture is the: 1. Black and White setting. It...

    Bullying of Students with Disabilities

    True enough, the bullies are quite often overlooked. I have been bullied as well when I was younger. I don't know why, I'm not the prettiest nor the brightest kid. But girls always pick on me and I just cannot understand why. And these are the popular girls and the girls who are loved by...

    Bullying of Students with Disabilities

    I think bullies themselves also has issues. For one, these bullies attack on people who are smart or the nerds of the class primarily because they are envious of these kids achievements. I think they attack the students with disabilities because again, these kids are brave enough to go to school...

    All Ages Learning by ear

    I love your approach on this although I admit that I'm not a music teacher. To be honest, our former music teacher in high school doesn't seem like an expert in music at all. She just left us to learn music all by ourselves. Honestly, I don't remember anything I learned from her at all. So I...

    Top 5 Novels

    Here are my top five: 1. The Hunger Games Series. I was intrigued by this book series after reading reviews about it on Goodreads. After that, I purchased one book, which is The Hunger Games, just to see what the hype is all about. By the end of the book I was hooked and so purchased the next...

    Writing Poetry

    I love writing in all its forms. I grew up writing letters, poems and even in my diary! Lol! So yes, writing poems is also one of my hobbies. I won't say they're as good as the average poems though. They are mostly just for my own consumption and I have never even once let anyone else look at...

    Tip of the Week: Mystery Skype

    Wow! I didn't know that Skype has this "Mystery Skype" thing for students to learn geography. I think using technology in this sense helps students realise the potential of apps itself. It is important for them to know that these apps aren't just for gaming or social media. They can be tools as...

    Using movie adaptations as an incentive for reading the book.

    For me, when I first see a movie adaptation before the book, it actually makes me want to read the book. It makes me wonder just what really happened in the book and what they changed in the movie. It happened when I watched Divergent, I went out to buy the book after the movie since it really...

    Has anyone enjoyed reading classic literature?

    I have read a few classic literature books before like Little Women, Gulliver's Travels, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. But to be honest, they're not my cup of tea. I have to drag myself to finish the book even when it just bored me. I guess I just don't have the patience and the deepness to...

    Should students choose what they like to read in class?

    Actually, this is something that I never experienced. Our professors always gave us book assignments. We were never allowed to choose what book we'd like to read. But I think it's a good idea because it gives the student that sense of independence. We let them know that their opinions matter and...

    Ages 4-11 [Primary] 9yr old claims he has no imagination!

    I think even with just playing legos or figures, kids can get creative. It's not necessarily the artistic stuff that they need to be creative with. Give them toys that enhance their creativity. There are also clays or play doughs which can enhance their imagination. After all, they're kids and...

    All Ages Drawing or Painting?

    I love drawing. I'd say I don't have much skills for painting, though I've tried it a couple of times. I even hate it sometimes when I colour in my drawings because I think I ruin them by doing that, lol. Nothing beats sketches for me, they are what I do best. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm not...

    All Ages Do you consider fashion as art?

    I also consider fashion as an art. I actually admire individuals who can express themselves with the clothes they're wearing. I love seeing uniquely dressed individuals, those who don't just follow fashion rules but defy them. They're like the rebels of the fashion industry. And although...

    English If you could be instantly fluent in any language, what would it be?

    I would love to be fluent in these languages: 1. French. 2. German. 3. Japanese. That's about it really. My dream is to visit these countries while being fluent in their languages as well. Ahh, such a far off dream in terms of money and time. Haha! But yeah, I can do it in the future. I'm...
