Updates from Coffee Talk 2104.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, let me thank Caroline for a job well done with the Humanities Times compilation. The information was also given promptly and we had time to look through the document. Just a note...next round of Humanities Times compilation is Azlan's. :)

This session Humanities Times focused on adding excitement in our group works. Sulaiman shared on Caroline bringing pupils to play soccer after they get tired of content generator games. Also, Trevor said about him having 5 Jengas and rubik cubes that we can borrow from him if we'd like to use in our teaching and learning. Thanks Trevor for the generous offer. I think all of us can learn a lot by learning from one another.

Today we discussed about the new mode of assessment training. So... I'll pass you the task on Monday's reflection. You'll also pass me the task given the previous week during that session. I will then go through with the various teachers individually at a separate time during the week. This is done to cater to the various degree of learning which all of us are in when it comes to assessment. By doing so, we can cater the training to each individual teacher. Hopefully we have a more fruitful session that way. Anyhow, the Monday slot is still available for any queries that you may have regarding the assessment component. Just give me a buzz if you can't find me at my table. Will be glad to offer a helping hand.

Also, we talked about the HD session this Thursday. Caroline will be helping out with the relaxation exercise component, I will do the bit on rapport building and dealing with upset EP, PE and PMs while Trevor will focus on the movie The Race and help out with the discussion then.

Thanks guys for all the help. Think we can do much if we work together as a team.

Have a good week ahead.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, thank you to Trevor for collating the information for Humanities Times this week.

We have agreed to edit the arrangement for Humanities Times. Each person will take care of compiling all the segments for the Humanities Times if they are taking care of it for that week. At the footnote, we can add, compiled by____. We also have agreed on the people taking charge of the compilation for the next few weeks in the following order: Ashley, Caroline, Azlan, Azlinda, Trevor. The things to do are as follows:
1. Fill in all the necessary information except the section on teaching and learning.
2. Email the soft-copy to Azlinda by Saturday , latest Sunday morning. This will be emailed to Sulaiman for clearance before printed for everyone's 'consumption' during the next Humanities Coffee Break time.

We also mentioned about decorating our respective Learner's Home - both inside and outside. Please remmber not paint the rooms.

This week's Humanities times focused on formation of groups. Please adopt the methods agreed upon and provide the feedbacks the next time we meet.

We mentioned about the Yusof Ishak sharing this Friday at 3.30pm.
Also if you are free please join us for the Time-management course we'll be having with the Melbourne kids and NE Ambassadors this Saturday, 12/4/08 from 8am to 1pm.

Oh ya... on a separate note, can we also think about the activities we can have during Humanities Week? This is the week before National Day.

Have a good week ahead.
