Catchy Learning Cottage: Characters Quilts

Keeping Kids Creative

Dear Readers,

We have all heard the buzzwords of the knowledge-based economy - creative, innovative, resourceful.We are told that our students will need these abilities, not just facts and figures, to thrive in the workplace of the future. And we,their teachers, need to equip them through creative teaching. Hence, here I try to unravel the nuts and bolts behind these ideas, to find out what creative teaching is all about and how it can be implemented in the classroom.

Join Me and I will appreciate it very much if you sign in my guestbook and leave your comments.

Characters Quilts

An extended project of literature lessons on Tidy Your Room, Tanya!One of the ideas created during CLIPS course in ELTC, Kuala Lumpur. This idea came out after a long discussion with my good friend cum partner , Aini Aishah Fatimah Leong Abdullah for our 'back-in-school' project. After presenting our 'so-called' project to the audience of the floor, we decided to enhance the idea to make sure the students get the benefit while carrying out the project and after completing the project.

They actually enjoyed the sessions on completing the extended project and asked for more.And I get the satisfaction on reviewing the students' talents and group-working. That blended everything !!
