I am overwhelmed having watched the video. The students there are full of enthusiasm and their creativity is something that we should look for in students today. Not only they acted out a movie, they actually directed a new movie of their own. They even came out with their own dialogs and the way the movie is formatted, the black and white and also the subtitles only remind me of those old movies like the 3 Amigos if you guys remembered. Well, these students are so creative till they can produce a movie like that. They managed to turn a low budget film into something that grabbed my attention.
I have to agree with Ain regarding how these students achieved MOE's Outcomes of Education especially the outcome to be innovative and have a spirit of continual improvement, a lifelong habit of learning and an enterprising spirit in undertakings. These students have shown that they are being innovative with producing a movie like that.
As a teacher, I must always give my students the freedom to explore on their own. Like what John Dewey taught, thinking is the best way of learning. Spoon-feeding students with answers and controlling them tightly will do no benefit for them. This will only kill their creativities. Let them talk in the class, share ideas with one another, make them ask questions. These will generate their minds to think better and will definitely help them in their future. Not only that, I believe that by teaching this method, it will give a chance for the students to showcase their talent and in turn, find out where their strength lies and help them to get better.
