My Turn to Speak :)

Firstly, I would say great thanks to those whom came out with these videos. I could see the effort they have put into the videos. Generally, I would like to focus my thoughts on the video of Romeo and Juliet meets Frankenstein. That was the funniest video I have seen. This video is a whole load of creativity. I mean who will think of Romeo as Frankenstein – Romeo’s brain in Frankenstein? However, I would like to comment on the quality of the video. Due to its low pixel, the video is not very clear. As this video has no audio acting, I have difficulty in reading the words on the screen. But overall, it is a good in its content.

I also agree with Ain that this video depicts MOE’s Outcomes of Education and that is to be innovative, which is obvious from the video clip. However, in certain subjects like Civics and Moral Education, students are not given a space to be creative. An example was during my relief teaching experience.

I was a relief teacher for about 3 months – teaching a science module. I was walking pass one of my classes when one of the students just walk towards me and wanted me to call him out for questioning. (This occurred when the teacher-in-charge was not paying attention) I asked him why and he said, “CME lessons are so boring, the teacher just wants us to do the book and hand up to him. If I don’t hand up by the end of the lesson, I will have to stay back after school.” Of course, my reply was he has to go back into the class and finish his assignment. Even though I know that he may have learnt nothing out of that lesson.

Therefore, I feel that probably classes like CME could use such ideas like a role-play to promote learning of morality, allowing them to use their creativity instead of just direct teaching (in the above case, there was no teaching. The teacher just ask them to finish their assigned work)
Hahaz.. Yup that is all I have to say about the this video. Thanks for reading. ^^V
