Pupils must be able to talk about 4 activities they do in the morning.
Writing an invite? Is it still relevant in today's world? Look around, people are texting nowadays, with specific instruction and special lingo which make the task seems small isn't it?
Nonetheless, we are teaching language and that what we are suppose to do, Teaching correct grammatical structured sentences. I always tell my teachers to put the learning in today's context. In this case, why is it important to learn how to write invite, relate it to the use of social media and how they can go about in using this skill in adapting to the real world.
Well, read this and tell me what you think.
This is a lesson note on writing based on the topic Space Exploration from the Year Five KSSR textbook. I draft it for my teacher to have a look and adapt if she thinks it is workable in her classroom.
