Task 1
"Manufactured Substance in industry" is the last topic in form four Chemistry syllabus. By that time students have enough of doing experiments and taking notes.Students wanted something different.I decided to exchange role where students got into groups of four and presented me with powerpoint while l sat at the back and listened. They came out with colourful, well prepared powerpoint presentation and took pride in explaining their presentation.In fact one of the students brought a digital camera to video taped their presentation.There were so much fun as the students were free to question the group that did the presentation.After the presentation i replayed the video for students to see them in action.I believe that at times we must break monotony and let the students show their talent
Task 2
Teaching chemistry to rural students back in the nineties was a real challenge to me because most students were not interested to come to school.It was a chore and chemistry seemed alien to them. So what i did then was to focus on being friendly and most of the time end up telling them stories instead of chemistry. As i gained their trust and confidence i mastered the subject, demonstrated experiments, let them do the experiments again exactly as what i did. At first they were playful but eventually with patience and a lot of advice and coaching students began to see chemistry as a subject that they can excelled.That took me about half a year to realised but it was worth it.Well i think we must also have that human touch in order to attract our students.
