Pocket Chart

Pocket chart is quite useful for primary school teachers to teach the children as it is more attractive and can be used for different topics.

For example, if u want to teach the topic about colours, you can put the cards with pictures and words in the pockets to show to the children. Try to make the pocket chart as colourful as possible.

Falling slowly

I don’t know you
我不认识你
But I want you
可是我想要你
All the more for that
所有的一切
Words fall through me
一字一句朝我掉下
And always fool me
让我变得很傻
And I can’t react
我却不能反应
And games that never amount
太多的游戏
To more than they’re meant
比他们认为的还多
Will play themselves out
他们会自食其果
Take this sinking boat and point it home
坐这艘可以指向我们家园的船
We’ve still got time
我们还有时间
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
扬起充满希望的声音 你还有选择
You’ll make it now
现在你可以做到
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
慢慢地坠落 那双了解我的眼睛
And I can’t go back
而我不能回去
Moods that take me and erase me
引导我和令我消失的心情
And I’m painted black
我变得漆黑
You have suffered enough
你受够了
And warred with yourself
和你自己斗争
It’s time that you won
现在是你获胜的时光
Take this sinking boat and point it home
坐这艘可以指向我们家园的船
We’ve still got time
我们还有时间
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
扬起充满希望的声音 你还有选择
You’ll make it now
现在你可以做到
Falling slowly sing your melody
慢慢地坠落 唱着你的旋律
I’ll sing along
我会一直唱下去

our lecturer let us listen to "falling slowly" this morning. It was the first time i listen to this song and i like it. i was not familiar with English song but i really feel that some of English song are better than Chinese song. it may because i cant catch the lyrics when i listen to it. so, i just guess and feel the meaning of English song.

"falling slowly" let me feel that it was a story about a leaf. it felt from the tree and it started its journey. in the journey, it saw the happiness and darkness of this world. it wanted to continue its journey but it cant. it was falling slowly and lay on the land. but it didnt give up and it was waiting for the wind to bring it
to another place...

Hero

hero
*display courage*
*and the will for self sacrifice*

thanks
as you give me a hug when i need your support
as you advise me when i am in dilemma
as you always take good care of me
as you want to give me a better life

sorry
that i always argue with you
that i do not listen to what you say
that i cannot stay beside you when you need me

as a son or daughter, don't forget to concern on your parents because they are persons who bring you to this world and will not leave you alone forever.

daddy and mummy, you are our hero and heroine.
try to tell your parents how much you love them and they will be surprised and satisfied although it is just few words...

Principles of Gagne

Robert Gagne built upon behaviourist and cognitive theories to recommend approaches to instruction. Much of Gagne's early experience as an instructional psychologist was sptackling practical problems of training airforce personnel. He dealt particularly with problems in determining just what skills and knowledge are required for someone to be an effective performer at a given job. Once job requirements were identified, the task then became one of determining how those requirements might best be learned by a person in training for the job. He suggested that a task would be best learned by following a specific sequence of nine events:

1. gaining attention;
2. informing the learner of the objective;
3. stimulating recall of prerequisite learning;
4. presenting new material;
5. providing learning guidance;
6. eliciting performance;
7. providing feedback about correctness;
8. assessing performance; and
9. enhancing retention and recall.
