Goldilocks ran amok!

This is what happened when my EYL (English for Young Learners) teacher gave us "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" story and let us used our wildest imagination to make interesting teaching media.

They have to much time in their hands to make these puppets...

My group!! We made those masks for teaching speaking (role play) and create the letter and envelope for teaching writing (pretend to be Goldilocks and write an apologize letter to the bears)

Reads the direction and follows where Goldilocks goes!

(This is for teaching reading, obviously...)

Goldilocks! Monopoly version

You choose one of those puppets above as your character, toss the dice and, like in monopoly, count where you'd end up. If you somehow end in 'Cheese', you have to make a sentence with your character=subject + one of the verb in the middle of the monopoly board + "Cheese"=object (e.g. Goldilocks ate the cheese)

Very good for vocabulary and grammar (sentence structure)!

No doubt, this is for vocabulary lesson

and this one too...

Btw, you play this like when you play "concentration" game on computer

I got video record too. However, the one took it concentrated more on people than the media... ckckck, boys...

That's it. See you in the next post!!

Peel egg in 2 seconds??

I just watch "26 hours/day" again the other day and got this neat trick to peel eggs in lightning speed *what an exaggeration*

Just put your boiled eggs in a Tupperware or something, add water, and shake it.

...

That's it

I really must have no life...

"I can't believe I even bothered to read up to there, I really must have no life"

Omigawd... this is the one of the truest quotes I've ever read. I agree though, coz I've done that several times: reading really bad fics, that I know no normal human would ever be able (or even think) about writing and/or reading it.

I have read in certain journal (I forgot the name though) about fic that's hailed as the worst fanfiction ever. It's called "My Immortal", if I'm not mistaken. That fics was a nightmare, yet I seemed to be captivated by it, and kept reading more than half of it (and still have nightmare about it). It's kinda like when you cannot stop your eyes wandering into the ugliest/grossest thing on Earth, maybe.

I'm really fortunate to be an Indonesian because...

Okay, because of the depressing state of this country these days, I think I need to write some positive views of Indonesia.

Let's get started!

I'm really fortunate to be an Indonesian because in Indonesia...

1. I can get 'Angkot' (one of public transportation in the form of car) everywhere! Seriously! I need not find a 'halte' (similar with bus stop) or something to find 'Angkot', I just need to wave my hand, and... voila! the Angkot will stop in front of me, no matter where I am.

2. We have batik!! Yai!! no matter what other countries said, batik is ours!

3. The people are not that 'police happy' (I said that in the same sense with 'trigger happy'). I've heard someone (I don't wanna tell names) said that in other country, all matter is solved with law (and it includes police and lawyer). For example, when a baby's crying all night, the neighbors will easily call cops and sue you. Hmm... so extreme... [Btw, is that true? Can someone confirm this and tell me?]

4. We can hear 'Adzan' easily!! My CCU (Cross Cultural Understanding) teacher said that in Kuala Lumpur (if I'm not mistaken), the Mosques are not allowed to sound 'Adzan' loudly. Therefore, we have to know the time to 'Sholat' ourselves!

5. Pirate videos/CDs/DVDs can be easily found. *a bit ashamed, yet secretly happy*

6. We have specific offices for 'photocopy services'! I have heard that in most countries, we have to do photocopy ourselves. Imagine when you have to photocopy documents or something into thousands of copies...

7. There's no Animal Control. I'd be sad if all of the cats that roam around my house disappeared

8. ??

Okay, I think that's all for now. I'll add more if I have some more ideas.

Btw, if someones (especially those from outside Indonesia) disagree with any of these, please tell me, coz I don't want to accidentally insult someones/some countries.

Thank you!
