Is it because of this LP is not interesting enough that nobody want to leave a comment. Oh Lord have mercy on me!! (>_<)
ok, I'll do it...
1. love the website!!! it's attractive, colorful and informative and the language is simple so it can attract the weaker students...
2. I love the idea of building a circus because it promotes critical thinking and expand their imagination...
p/s: i'll come to your circus provided that you don't have any clowns... (you know kan why)
wuhuuu..brilliant!the website is so interesting. i love it!even though i've never been to a circus, but i've seen it many times in the movie. by giving the students to deco their own circus is a genius idea- as you can see many 'crazy ideas' i guess. i like your LP. however, the time allocate for the lesson is too short, if you do it in double period it should be okay. i love it!
Whoa what a freaky circus the students are going to have! You certainly make good use of the endless time you spent on Facebook applications, haha. Like the others, I love the website. Colourful and easy to comprehend. Guess it can be catered to the weaker students, then. Your worksheets are also interesting, but I don't think the lesson can be done fully in one period. Tambah tolak students fooling around, possible technical malfunctions, etc2. An overall good LP
Actually, I wanted to leave a comment earlier but there was an internet connection problem during the day. So here goes..
I like the fact that you used this circus website to be integrated in your LP. How on earth did you find it?! Anyways, I think it is interesting that they get to create their own circus (I hope they exclude clowns!) because not many students probably have been to one and this is to create their own experience of being in one. Well done! ;-)
circus???never thought of it huhu nice topic.it is interesting.it let the students to apply their CCTS.
who says it's not interesting?i like this LP.cos we normally focus on nature and environment.we hardly focus on animal.by using this activity we can construct their creativity.the worksheet really grabs attention.however,i think it needs to be done in double period cos i am sure students are really excited to do this:)
same with others..i also think time allocated for your lesson should be 80 mins :)
love the website. the students will definitely have a blast with it. nice one.
Usually form 4 students won't be interested in talking about animals in class. that's usually for the younger students...BUT...your lesson may succeed in making them actually 'participate' in the lesson...i like your style brother! haha
