The Ministry of Education has introduced a new set of English literature to our students. One of the short stories that need to be taught is "The Fruitcake Special". It is a story about Anna, who is a Chemist, invented a special perfume mixed with a fruitcake. Whenever she wears it, men will get attracted to her although she is a plain looking woman.
As I was eating in an Asajaya cafe, I came across a bakery and I asked myself "Why not buy a birthday cake for my students?" "I want them to know the smell and taste of a cake while learning the fruitcake special story" I said to my friend. He laughed at my idea but he loved the idea because it will make learning fun and lively.
True enough, when I brought and gave the cake to my students, they had big smiles on their faces and throughout the lesson, they paid attention to whatever I was telling them. Hahahaha! there's a magic in the cake huh?p/s: This post is also available at http://whenteacherspeaks.blogspot.com

You're a great teacher with a true passion! :)
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have never had a teacher bring something while trying to teach the students about a subject or topic.
Willie...I wish there are many more teachers like you in Malaysia! Good of you to do something like that to your students. Good job!
