Dear colleagues,
What happens all around us today is so provoking to think, analyse, speak and write down how we feel towards these fast changing phases in our political life. Everyday we have something new in the terms that it makes mute people speak and shy ones raise their voices expressing their own perspectives on the current events around them. Our political life is teeming with strange and astounding events that pushes us to speak in a loud voice. I find myself obliged to share my students their desire to talk and there are always heated discussions. I discovered new abilities in some students who were not accustomed to participate in other discussions. This pushed me to think why didn't they share in other discussions and I have deduced that the problem is in the topics we choose every time. We need to choose things that interest them and appeal to their taste. We need to help them voice their opinions about the current issues.Through this we can learn how they think and how they see the something we see but in a different way.
Once more my dear colleague, we need to organize our work, prepare it well, provide our student with rich topics to motivate them to talk and write jot down their opinions. I think this help them build their way of thinking and supports healthy atmosphere for discussion.

Mohamed, this is a deeply reflective blog, and draws upon what I value most deeply in my classroom: giving students the opportunity to express their opinions. It does not mea that as a teacher I prepare less. In fact, I have to be even more prepared because the lesson becomes more dynamic. I hope that you and your students would have wonderful discussions for years to come. All the best!
ReplyDeleteI realized this in my science lesson when it comes related to their life, like biology or something they are using it they are welling to it, but when it imagination, like physics & electricity or atoms which they can't see they are not interesting and asking WHY we are learning this?
ReplyDeletethank you Dr Joy that you send us all the blog addresses to enjoy reading Mr Mohamed's blog which I like it very much, you expressed such wonderful moments of success you shared as a teacher with your students, I hope all as teachers could have the time and the topic we could discuss with our students and to go deeply inside them, we could find treasures as you discovered.
ReplyDeleteThank you once more. It is my pleasure to find out that teaching resources are so variable and the key word is there " our everyday life" It is so rich and planning& motivation are all what we need. Really Dr. Joy I have greatly enjoyed that class. I wish we all could keep in touch.
