About Criminals

Tuesday (10/08/2010)

a) Circle Time: Criminlas.

* Who can draw faces of criminals. First, Wee Hong tries, then Devin, then Kwong Yong, Foo Soon anf finally Shi Jie.

* The kids felt that criminals have ugly faces until Yun Wen said that's not true. Then, how do we know if a person is a bad guy? usually, their faces are scary and the way they look at the victims is actually a warning sign. We would feel afraid or scared! Kids should not to strangers and if they approached kids, kids should run to a safe and crowded place. An article which I read shared that we shouldn't be scared to look at the criminals' faces. in fact, when we stare at them, they would think that we are too brave and tough to overcome. They might give up on us.

* Some people are good looking but not necessary kind. Some people are not that good looking or pretty but they have kind hearts. In this case, we sometimes have to use our feelings for judgement.

* However, criminals always think of bad things and thus, have scary face with wrinkles and are usually ugly!

b) Photos of criminals.

* I showed the kids some dangerous Criminals of USA. immediately, almost everyone just participated to gtell their stories......phew!!

Jun Hong: My sister had to go for stitching when the criminals injured her.

Foo Soon: My father too was attacked by criminals because they knew that my father had a lot of money in hand at closing time.

Yun Wen: Why haven't I met any criminals?

Teacher: Pray that you don't ever meet one! They like going to quiet places and rich places such as banks.

Yun Xin: I'm ot afraid because I have dogs to protect us.

* Some criminals spied at the victims and even fed the dogs with poisonous food to kill them first.

Wei Jeen: My father said that criminals will be handcuffed and put into jails.

Devin: My sister has seen a criminal before.

Natalie: My mother has seen one when we were driving in the car.

Teacher: What were the criminals thinking?

Shi Jie: When they were young, they were good people. However, when they grew up; they learn bad things and couldn't differentiate the rights to wrongs.

* We related to smoking and friends influence.

Wei Jeen: My grandfather died because he smoked too much.

Yun Wen: When bad friends disturbed us, we just say "NO" to them and walk away. Don't be their friends because they would made us bad too!

c) Video Clips: Most Wanted Criminals of USA.

* Some were caught for kidnapping, killing and also robbery. Kids were like surprised to see even woman criminals.

d) Discussion: The mirror reflection.

* How do they look? Are they angry people? Yes!!! When a person is angry, they can't think well.

* Look into the mirror! Scold your friends by staring into the mirroe. how do you look? It is nice to be so angry and scold bad words? It is like scolding ourselves back!!

* The kids were divided into 4 groups. They scolded words that they always used in class or heard from friends. Wohhh!!!

* Ask your parents how should we control ourselves when we are ANGRY?
