Selected Reading Material: Accidents - A Fire (Advanced)

I remember back when I was still teaching, my pupils always frowned when they had to write a composition about a fire. There was very little varied vocabulary in which they could use.

Many used words like 'big fire' (translated from Mandarin), 'fierce', 'spread wildly', 'uncontrollable'.

My latest addition to the Selected Reading Material is a short story about a man risking his life to guard his home from a bush fire. It was inspired by a beautifully written article I had read in the Reader's Digest many years ago. 

This short story is targeted at advanced and aspiring writers. 

I am still researching on this area and hopefully I can put up another resource related to 'fire' soon. 

You can find the article here.

Primary 1 Composition Received!

Thank you Alan for submitting the first composition from a Primary 1 pupil since the beginning of this project ' I Can Write Too!'.

You have great potential!

Do not be afraid to experiment with new words and phrases!
No problem if you do not use them correctly. Try and you'll learn along the way!

Keep writing!

Selected Reading Materials - Menu Cannot Display on Mobile Devices

I've just realised that the Menu for Selected Reading Material cannot be displayed properly on Mobile Devices. What you see is only the topic 'Crime' but cannot choose to view the other topics and themes.

So I've just added an option to view a simplified menu for Mobile Devices.

You can see the added option here.

Selected Reading Material: Crime - Animal Abuse

Recently there has been a spate of cases on animal abuse - from kittens getting dismembered to dogs being neglected and left to the mercy of the elements at the balcony.

I am heartened to know that MOE is including 'Animal Welfare' in the new Character & Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum starting next year, with the primary and secondary students. Hopefully, these changes to the education curriculum can help raise awareness in the next generation, to become respectable and responsible citizens and to live lives of kindness and compassion to humans and animals alike.

The latest addition to my website includes a news article on animal abuse and two related activities.
