Teaching Diary 0604 Social Studies City versus country

In today's grade 5 lesson, we've watched several videos about 聚落，and make them write note on page 60-64, on only a very basic structure of the teaching contents. We need to cover more about other cities that are mentioned in the textbook. Children don't seem to be very interested. Tomorrow I'll play 聚落生活，which summarizes this chapter. Then moving on to the Population part. I might give them an assignment this week on rights, and population changes, then moving on next week to different areas of Taiwan, which will take a good two fully compact units.

Grade 2- What would you like to eat? I'd like some...  According to God's instruction, I made them sing a tune along with ' What would you like to eat?. I found they like it and would repeat it after class. The videos we watched are some TACOS but not very interesting and two on Spaguetti that I really like (Jamie Oliver and how Italians.. ).  To follow up, I'll make WST on the match between the food and the country, and How Much Is it?

In Grade 1's class I presented the conversation as shown on the videos. We've first seen the video of 'singing walrus' on How are you. Children then come up to the stage to present the conversation pair by pair. The recorded contents are not entirely unused but they should be recorded again which will be scheduled for next week.

Grade 3 classes I was fortunate to have two students come up to present the famous cuisine in Taiwan. I then extended the discussions to other interesting local foods- like beef noodles, milkfish porridge 椪餅，that are special to Tainan.
