a) More about Endangered Animals.
* First, we reinforced our vocabulary with flash cards. Then, we continued with yesterday’s session.
* 3 kids picked the pictures randomly. They were the orang-utan, peacock and turtle. Orang-utan is endangered because of hunters and also deforestation for development purpose. Peacocks are currently not endangered but will they in the future? Some people catch them for their colourful quills and eat them. Turtles are protected species because people catch them to sell their meat as food. They also steal their eggs. How could there be new generations when there are less eggs? Furthermore, the polluted water and the current oil leakage or spillage is worsening the ocean. Birds and fish will also be affected! People throwing plastic bags sometimes are suffocating the turtles to death. The same goes with other smaller sea animals.
b) Board game.
* The kids went into their group. Then, they chose the pictures they wanted to draw. I allow them to draw any animals. If they want, they can draw what they have learnt about namely snails, rabbits, bats, Polar Beras, Brown Bears. Kids being kids, they are just too curious. They just love drawing other animals such as turtles, dinosaurs and also peacocks. Those who neede guidance, I sketched a few pictures on the board for them. The animals are the positive signs that will help the players to step further and win.
* Tomorrow, we will be doing the negative ones such as hunters and pollutions.
