WE HAD yet another fun session with our young charges. We were very glad to see that they were still very enthusiastic about our course despite a 2-week hiatus from our course. This time we didn't play any games, a move which I still do not support (after all, games are the best at engaging children). Perhaps my view of this programme is different from the rest.
I found that the students were unable to keep their focus on the task at hand (drawing comics). Personally I feel that this was because the task itself was not too interesting. In the future we should aim to incorporate more interesting tasks or otherwise include a wider spread of tasks within 1 activity.
I also found myself beginning to bond with the children. Their childish yet deeply insightful opinions added new threads of thought to issues I originally thought to be cut-and-dried.
In all, this RE project is turning out to be greatly rewarding. I look forward to the next session.
